What a weird word. Cancer. I have said it many times but never has it stung me before. It sits in my chest and it makes it hard to breathe. It makes my eyes tired and watery. My throat tightens and my mind goes blank.
Friday afternoon a long time friend died from cancer. He was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer 9 months ago. He did not respond to radiation or chemo. He was told he would never be cancer free. 3 nights ago he went to the hospital for conjestive heart failure and lung problems. He was told that night he had 1-2 weeks to live but he lasted not even two nights. He would be 26 in two weeks.
Today I was called into my grandparents study. They sat me down, my Papa told me he has Prostate cancer.
So many thoughts and only one emotion. Pure sadness. Good old fashioned sadness. No hate. No pain. Just sad.

I am sorry for your loss. . .I know that same sadness because I've lost someone very close to me from cancer; however, I want to encourage you about your Papa. I am close to someone who is surviving and living a full life after prostate cancer. I don't know if you believe in prayer, but I will be praying for you.
