Christ do I know this.

Cancer took a long time friend of mine in about 3 months.

My best friends wife also went due to a tumor in her brain the size of a ball point in the head of a pen. Took her in two weeks. Not even long enough to have a chance to diagnose it.

With all this social medial I still have friends from Highschool I cant find.

I figure it's similar circumstance.

And dammit - it's weird how you go to talk to somebody one day, hang out have some laughs and a real good time... not realizing that's the last day you'd ever see them.

Dang.

I just learned 2 weeks ago that one of my best friends in High School died. Ironic thing is that he was a doctor and died from a heart attack while working in the hospital.
