Now some sad news. Some of you may remember my mentioning one of my Chinese students had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2013. She was 23 at the time.

Earlier this year, it looked like Carla’s cancer was in remission. She got married and was expecting a baby this summer. Then things went downhill very fast. I’ll spare you all the details here, as I blogged it over at my site.

Carla died Wednesday. She was one of the nicest people I’ve known, and now I’m feeling a bit empty inside.
