Darda Dhumo, only 19 years old, passed away yesterday after suffering from acute leukemia.
The young woman's loss was shocking, as she learned about the disease by chance when she went to donate blood from her peers.
Her friends and relatives say that even though she was young and that the disease was taking her life, she did not give up for a moment her faith in God, life and enjoying the moments as they were in the new circumstances.
Darda had only one worry, which she couldn't do herself: "To enjoy every day as a gift from God and every moment with her family and friends." Until her last breath, she knew how to be grateful to God and the hope that he gave her every day, in these 19 years of life, which was also proven by a post on social networks a few months ago.

Who would have thought that this summer would be like this!
I miss the beach, the waves, getting sunburned, I miss being with friends and hugging them. Being isolated is definitely not the best way to spend the summer…
Some updates for you all:
Yesterday I started my third cycle of chemotherapy, which means I may have five more to go. Finally, everything seems to be getting better day by day. There are always moments when I am in pain, tired, moments when I fear for the future or sometimes emotional, but I can assure you that God always finds a way to bring back my smile and my joy!
All these days and especially today I have felt so encouraged and I have tried to enjoy every special moment while it lasts. I am starting to enjoy different places in the hospital and every single moment spent with all the medical staff here. I especially enjoyed this beautiful sunset today!
So as you read this, here is a message from me and my experience so far:
Please enjoy each day as a gift from God, enjoy the morning when you are able to wake up and feel your lungs filling with oxygen, enjoy your physical health and enjoy every moment spent with your family and friends!
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do any of these since I got sick, so please do it for me! Embrace your special ones and above all don't forget to thank the one who gives us life and hope! Only when something is taken from us, when we realize the value it had!
