Alicia Parlette died yesterday at age 28.
Alicia had just started working at the San Francisco Chronicle in 2005 when she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. She chose to tell her story through a column which garnered a following in the thousands.
“If I get through this, this story will help me remember the important moments along the way, the details, the dizzying emotions. And, in the worst of all circumstances, if I go through this life-changing ordeal and my body just wears out and I die, I will die a writer. The one thing I’ve always wanted to be.”
