Indianapolis Blogger Tricia Black Passed Away

30 year old Tricia Black (TEB) passed away last night after a more than year long battle with stage IV melanoma. Already an active blogger before the diagnosis, she chronicled her journey over the past year in blunt detail. Through her writing, you can clearly feel her indomitable spirit and love for life. An excerpt from her blog after being diagnosed:

It would be understatement to say that last week was one of the worst...ever. Not you got into a car accident bad, not you missed your flight bad, not you lost your job bad, but one of those weeks that you feel that nothing could bring you any lower. When you say, "So this is what it means to hit rock bottom." We'll we've been there. A few times. But the good thing about rock bottom, there's only one direction to move.

Start from the beginning of her story.
