Cancer is a disgusting thing.

I just received news that one of my friend's father just died about an hour ago after a long battle with cancer. It makes my stomach sick to see so many close loved ones leave us because of cancer. The anniversary of my grandpa's death is approaching on the 17th of this month. I have grown to hate St. Patricks day because it reminds me of what I no longer have. I still remember that day in fourth grade when I was called out of class because my mother was waiting on the other end of the phone line in the office with devastating news.


My close guy friend's mother has been fighting breast cancer for years. She beat it, but it has recently come back stronger than ever. In the worst level possible, she is just expected to die anytime now. Her husband died about three weeks ago from a heart attack in their hotel room while they were in Illinois for her chemo treatment. How horrible must that have been for her. I feel absolutely terrible for their family and constantly pray for her.


But please, pray for my friend who lost her father tonight and for my other friend who lost his step-dad and is in the process of losing his mother next. Also please keep my family in mind. My mom has become greatly emotional lately and going through little epiosodes of depression as the death anniversary of my grandpa approaches. She loved her father more than anything--he was her world as she was growing up.
Thank you.


God Bless.
