today i discovered a sad truth about KAYCEE and Debbie--- it was all a h o a x. although the story about the cancer was true-- and all the emotions poured were true..the story of kaycee was weaved...made by debbie. i went to the site and i decided to copy some excerpts:
Her name was not Kaycee and she was not my daughter, but I loved her as if she had been. And I grieve her loss.
The blog was about the lives of three people who suffered, one with breast cancer, one with leukemia, and one with Liver cancer. Each were strong, vibrant, and loving individuals. Each were real. Each died much too soon.
I am to blame for wanting to tell their stories. I am to blame for weaving the lives of all three together. I chose to share their voices as one rather than three separately. I wrote their thoughts, their humorous sides, their struggles, their fears.....(more on the site, however-- i have read that it'll be brought down today).. -- this one is from debbie's site.
today, debbie emailed me her blog. i was tremendously stunned when i read it. i urged her to call me on the phone. she did. i asked a lot of questions. she confessed the truth of her motivations to me. she confessed her guilt. xxx
because i care about people, i was taken in. call me a fool, call me gullible.
debbie told me she did this out of a misguided attempt to tell the stories of people she loved. this was not a scam. this was not a malicious attempt to manipulate or hurt people.
she regrets her mistake. she asked me to forgive her. i have. she said i have every right to hate her. i do not. believe it or not, i still care about her. she is grieving, and this admission only compounds the grief. when someone tells me they are truly sorry, and i hear it said sincerely, then i believe it. -- this one from BWG. sad fact but true.
