Maybe a couple of months ago some guy sent me a friend request me on on FB. I accepted because I saw we had 2 mutual friends in common - my HS bff and another girl we went to HS with. I noticed earlier this week that his brother passed away. I texted HS bff a little while ago to confirm who he was, I thought maybe he was someone I knew from HS that I may have forgotten about.Turns out I never knew him, but she thought maybe he thought he may have known me through one of them when he requested me. She then agreed with me that his brother was young (in his 20's) and that he passed away from colon cancer. Then revealed that it made her sad because her dad has colon cancer.
I had no idea, and she thought she had told me. She told me it's stage 4, and that he is undergoing chemo. I'm so sad for her right now. I just saw them 2 weeks ago, we bumped into each other on the street and spoke for a while, they were on a walk together. He has always been so nice to me. I had no idea.She told me they found out a year ago. She is so strong, because in the past year, she gave no indication that she was going through this. I knew her dad in high school so this news breaks my heart. I know her mom too, and she is the sweetest lady. They have been married for so many years, and have been through so much together. Right now I want to be there for my friend and I'm so sad and angry. Seriously, FUCK cancer. I'm so glad we are doing something for the fight against cancer. This damn disease needs to be stopped.
