Yet more deaths. A friend of mine just died. He was 42.

He leaves behind three children, the oldest 9 and the youngest 3.

Colon cancer. Fuck cancer. Fuck death.

I am sick of this shit.

A toast to you, Luke...

Tis getting tough. I lost five friends since the beginning of the year with two knocking on deaths door as I type.

It is sad and sorry for the loss of your friend.

Colon cancer is particularly scary because it can sneak up on you well before you know something is wrong.

My condolences to his family. Extra sad when young children are involved. Peace to them.

He was always ribbing me about being a vegetarian, and I said that I would outlive him. Ironically, I did not know that I was stating the truth. I was 70 at the time of his death.
