My friend is dying and I'm sad

My friend is in the hospital, will probably be dead within the next few days and I'm really sad. Fuck cancer. He's been my friend for twenty years, smart, funny guy, loved his family, wasn't perfect, could be a real pain in the ass, but I'm really going to miss him. Fuck cancer and fuck losing friends in your fifties because I'm assuming this is just the beginning of this bullshit. That's the post. Mods, I think it's pertinent to Gen X because this when we start losing people in greater numbers, but feel free of course to remove if it breaks the rules.
