I received a message from a friend in the lifestyle last evening... he had some devastating news to tell me.... chastedboi (on Fetlife) died last week suddenly.
When I was first diagnosed with cancer someone in the community gave me his contact information... he had been diagnosed with the same cancer 5 years before me. He was SO supportive when I contacted him... answered all my questions honestly ... and in his infinite wisdom didn't give me more information than I needed. He was extremely active in the community always giving never complaining!
When I heard his news I assumed immediately he had died from his cancer.
BUT it wasn't. He had been stung by a bee and had a massive anaphylaxis reaction. He was rushed into hospital - to ICU and he died 48 hours later from a massive heart attack. Not his cancer !!
It made me remember we should live each day in the present... cherish every moment we have................... as cliched as it is - We SHOULD live every day as if it was our last....
How awful and it seem so unfair - but as you said, we aren't promised fair. Sounds like he was a good person. I'm sorry he's gone.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about this news. I hope that he enjoyed his life
