ya'll be sure to pick up my slack.



got some bad news today.  good friend of mine just passed away from cancer. we grew up in the same small community, went to school together, from grade school, thru high school, we were teammates in football and baseball, throughout highschool.  we were both active members on our youth football board, and both coaches.  he leaves behind two daughters, and a son, all of whom had lived with him after he and his wife were divorced.  both of his parents are still alive, and I know how devastating this is for them.  He was active as a volunteer firefighter, and ems in the small community, as well as where he worked.

to say that his passing will leave a hole in this community and his family's life, is an understatement.

add this to the list of why I want to throat punch, and then sac kick cancer.

So sorry for your loss. :hugs I too, have a passion for hating Cancer. I'm praying for his family.
 
I detest it as well. My dad died of leukemia when I was 4 years old, leaving my mother a young widow with two little girls. My amazing step-dad, who later adopted my sister and me, died of lung cancer. I had it in 1973, shortly after Kenny was born and was terrified that I wouldn't be there to watch my 3 kids grow up. My daughter learned she had cancer early in her pregnancy with Little Diane, and had a hysterectomy done a few weeks after the baby was born, followed by a double masectomy when she was in her early 30s. My 6 year old niece was diagnosed one year ago this month with Leukemia.

I am so sorry for the loss to you, his family, and his community. We all are little rocks tossed into a pool - as we go on we make the ripples that surround us, ever spreading and touching lives. Dad used to tell us that it wasn't the splash of our own lives that counted, it was how many beautiful ripples we sent out to others that told our true stories.
