Life Throws Nasty Punches Sometimes

[pastafreak]

Just had a message from my daughter...they'd just landed in France for holiday...urgent message from her dad to call. Her cousin has died suddenly. He had leukaemia (she didn't know, nor did her father...its his brothers son)...had a sudden stroke and never regained consciousness. They had to turn life support off. Just a few months older than my daughter...had 2 kids. What a shock.

I dont think I would have told them actually

Oh dear, that's very sad. What a shock for you all. Hope your daughter will cope alright with this bad news.

He was only diagnosed a week ago. 37 years old...
What his parents and wife must be going through doesn't bear thinking about.

Awful, just awful. Indescribable pain for those left behind.

It does indeed.

I wish as much money was spent on cancer than was spent on Covid

How awful, Pasta. Such sadness and pain for his family.

Life can be so cruel sometimes.
