I just lost another friend last month due to cancer. A healthy 32-year-old cop who was gone in less than 8 months after diagnosis.
I've lost a lot of friends in my lifetime, probably more than the average Joe, but it's just a part of life. Being exposed like that, I really think I have those experiences to credit for my outgoing nature. I don't think I would have set out on so many insane adventures had I not been so aware of how fleeting life is.
Make the most of your life.

Condolences, IS, I can sympathize completely as the exact same thing just happened to my mother.
The saddest part of all is that the day she died, it rained so hard here it took me an hour to drive what normally takes five minutes. Hope you feel better soon.
