    I don't feel old enough for this to be happening, but a friend of mine was moved to hospice last night. He's been on my soccer team since 2008 (we joined at the same time). It's hard to believe that the guy I've played side by side with for the last 6 years is losing this battle.

    Hug your friends. When this happens, it happens fast. He just found out his cancer had spread in September. (Prior to that he had a slow growing lymphoma that supposedly they were keeping an eye on since 2005. I didn't even know he had it until he found out it was everywhere.)

    I'm so sorry Angie. Cancer is a beast. I wish him all the comfort in this world. I wish his family & friends peace. Take care, let yourself grieve, & give those extra hugs to others. All my love.
