Well, today I mailed a sympathy card to my neighbor. Her husband died on Monday from a brain tumor. The sad thing is how random and sudden it was. A month ago he collapsed at work and it was then that they discovered the tumor. They operated a few days later but were unable to remove it all, and learned that it was already Stage 4 cancer. Within the month, the tumor came back, and bigger than ever. A little over a week ago he collapsed again and spent the remainder of his life in the hospital, as he had lost use of his left side. While he may not have been the world’s greatest father, he was a nice guy, and one of the few friends my dad had, so that’s pretty sad too. I’m not sure how long they’ve lived in that house, but they’ve been there longer than my family, so I grew up with them. Random…
