Today, I found out that one of my good friends from high school's father passed away. He had stage IV melanoma for only a month.
I've been reminded lately how fragile life can be; cancer recently took the life of my Aunt. And after yesterday's tragedy in Connecticut, I'm feeling an abundance of sadness.
Tomorrow, however, I will be strong for my friend because I know what its like to lose your father. I know what it's like to be in college and far away, and I hope she got all the opportunity in the world to see him before he passed away. I know that those moments can't make up for a lifetime that will be lost; for future moments that won't happen now.
I'm feeling down as well. This man was very into participating in the things that his kids loved, like winterguard and marching band. Everyone knew him and he was always working for the crew.
So tomorrow, it will be hard. But I hope I can be strong.
