TW: loss of a friend 💔
One of my best friends in the world happily rang the celebration bell in May, after confirmation of his cancer free status. Then the cancer came back last month, and tragically we lost him four days ago.
He told me it had returned, and that it was terminal, but foolishly I thought we had more time. Mother Earth can be brutal as fuck sometimes. I feel like I've been kicked in the chest with a battering ram, but I am thankful I finally have a tiny sliver of an appetite.
