A sad day

This has been quite a heavy day for me so far. I just found out that my friend's wife has to have a full masectomy to get rid of her breast cancer (she's in her 30's with 2 very young children) and their insurance is refusing to cover any of it. Then I found out that my friend at work's mother died unexpectedly a couple of days ago. Then I found out that my friend's newborn baby has cancer too! How can someone be born with cancer?! That is just amazing to me.

I'm sure I'll eventually get to that stage where I'm reflecting on my own life and the meaning of all this. But right now, I'm just sad. I'm so sad for all of them... and I'm a little bit more afraid of the "c" word.
