No Words!

So about an hour ago I got a phone call and found out that a friend from Sandpoint has been diagnosed with some type of brain cancer. They are awaiting results to find out what kind but there is a possibility that it could be a glioblastoma. I am just so in shock right now and can't even think of anything to say. One of the reasons I am so taken aback by this whole thing is that In the past year and a half I have now known three people who have been diagnosed with brain cancer and two of them were glioblastomas and that may be all three. I don't quite understand what is going on. My friend in Sandpoint is married and has three boys and my heart just aches for all of them right now. I can just see the path that they may be walking soon and I just know how hard it is. It just seems like every time I think things are starting to look up and I am moving forward I get slammed back down to reality that life can just really suck. You know what I keep thinking about my friend is that He and his family were some of the people who came and helped me pack all of my stuff up in Sandpoint and move it down to Spokane. They also are the ones who when I have ended back up in Sandpoint for visits that I tend to see and they always seem genuinely concerned about how I am doing. Actually I just ran in to this friend when I was up there two weeks ago. It just seems like something like brian cancer is so rare that two people from a small town let alone a church should end up with it so close together. I don't know I am just full of so many questions right now and no answers. I guess what I hope for is that my situation may help someone else go down that road and give them comfort that they are not alone.
