[alternative title]How many more people around me are gonna die?

In the last 5 years, I’ve lost the following people who were fairly close to me:
My father-n-law.
My brother.
My step-brother’s mother.
My step-grandmother.
My mother.
My uncle Bill.
My mother-n-laws boyfriend of several years.
Ann’s aunt Shirley passed just this morning from cancer.

This morning, my father was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer. Details aren’t completely clear yet, but he has 2 tumors in his head and another large mass in his lungs. He has the same symptoms as Ann’s dad had when he died of the same thing. I don’t know how long dad’s got, but most people die within 3 months of being diagnosed with this type of tumor.

Seriously. This sucks ass!

    Holy shit, dude. I’m so sorry to hear that. I think it goes without saying you call me if you need me, bro. :(

    I’m sorry too. Hopefully you can make the most of what time you do have– because we’re all playing that game really, we just don’t know it yet.

    Your dad is a super-cool guy and I will be praying for him and all y’all.

    Our house and hospitality is totally open to you and Ann and the doggies if you need it. Just come over.
