A woman giving days to live is using her final days to promote the
importance of organ donation and to raise money for the fiance she is
leaving behind. Last Wednesday, 25-year-old Nardya Miller was given a
week to live. On Sunday she was submitted to palliative care and needs
an oxygen mask 24 hours a day.
The beauty salon owner has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and her body is rejecting a double lung transplant she had over two years ago.
In a heartbreaking Instagram post, she explained how she was not giving
up, “just simply letting go” and made a final request of others:Nardya

“Maybe I’ve known you my whole life, maybe I’ve known you for 10 years,
maybe I’ve known you for only a short while, but in just over a week I
will never know you again, I will never see your face again, I will
never talk to you, touch you, hold you, ever again.“But I will always
love you, and the friendships we built, and the memories we made.“Things
do not always turn out how you plan in life, there are some really huge
things that I will never have, places I’ll never go and things I’ll
never live to see. But I’ll be watching. Always. Smiling. Because I was
here.“I will never give up. As I never have. Now I’m just simply letting
go.”“And please I beg you to live your life to the absolute fullest. -N
