The last few days have brought some bad news for both a friend/co-worker of my dad's and two former Grand Island students who were a year or so younger than my class.

Without naming names because I want to respect privacy, our two former GI classmates died of cancer....a shocker that Im sure all their former classmates are going to need a lot of time to get over.

My dad's friend will with any luck and some time and pain make a full recovery after he loses his kidney. He was completely healthy prior to feeling abdominal pain and went to the doctor had a bunch of tests thought it was an infection and turned out it was cancer.

Cancer is such sucky thing. One minute you are living life, the next minute your life is ruined. Everything you worked for is put on hold or lost completely. It can strike the completely healthy or could take advantage of those who chose not to take care of themselves...it does not discriminate, which is why its such a scary disease.

I have gone two months now without health insurance and every time I feel a pain or tingle i wonder if its going to be that life changing illness or disease.

My thoughts go out to those I mentioned above....its got to be one of the hardest things, if not THE hardest thing to go through because chances are, even with a recovery your life will not be the same ever again.

Cancer Sucks.....plain and simple. Live life, you never know what sucky thing life will throw at you, including this one.
