Heartbreaking when you get two calls in a week about cancer.
One of my
friends' wife was diagnosed with lung cancer. They just found out and he shared the news with me this week. I teared up as he told me
Thursday, "she's my best friend and the love of my life." He's trying to stay positive and he says his wife is being a trooper, but she's very fragile. I feel so badly they are going through this.
And then... I
got off the phone bawling Friday afternoon. My friend just found out that day he has
throat cancer. He said, "I just wanted to call you and tell you I love
you." He's never told me that before, til today.
He also said he's not scared or depressed, and that he's lived a great life. "If it takes me, it takes me." I told him we could all learn something from him. I was astonished with his words. He's still going to fight it, but he's being very calm at the moment.
Heartbreaking...
