A candle in support...
Why do these things happen, why!
It's just not fair!
This post just touched my heart! Please take a minute to read it.
On a personal note, my father passed away from cancer almost 6 years ago. Its not easy. The cancer, the fight. Its not easy loosing someone you love. Watching them leave this life. Its not easy understanding why they have to go. Its not easy knowing they wont be there for the big things in your life. Its not easy being strong. I know I wouldn't have gotten through it if I didn't have friends and family and people out there thinking of me, of my family, of all of us.
So, in support of Snickollet, here is my candle.
Please take a moment to light one for her too!

I suppose it's probably expected the more time we spend on this planet, the more we are affected by cancer. In the past year, I've lost a cousin, a friend, and a friend's mother. My boss' cancer has returned and she cut back her hours, then recently announced she was resigning. Today she told me her doctor said there is nothing more they can do medically.
It seems like having experienced (not personally) this more and more, I should have "learned" how to deal with it better -- or at least found some way to communicate better, but words always fail me in these situations. But I think that these kinds of things don't really yield any hard lessons in how to cope or rationalize it.
We are all hard pressed to find someone who has not been touched by cancer, be it a relative or a friend.
It helps to know that other people understand...
