We lost my sweet Aunt Joyce to cancer today [View all]

She was only 60 years old. This was her second bout and she beat it the first time. Cancer sucks so bad. But I am glad she is at peace. According to my mom who was there the last few days were a heartbreaking struggle. I wish that Joe's moonshot with cancer would have come. And while I support other candidate at the moment, I still hope that happens. Cancer can be beaten. In our lifetime I feel. As long as the resources are there.
