Speaking of not fair in General Chatterboxing

Cancer is everywhere around me. Maybe i was so sheltered that i never knew anyone with cancer growing up. Never knew anyone who got so sick. I do remember one girl that i didnt really know in highschool. She was a senior and i was a sophmore. She was in remission. But i didnt really know her. First a 4 year old cousin gets Lukemia. Shes starting her chemo soon. After shes had fingers and toes amputated. :( My sister has had the same group of friends for years. They are all now 17. One of them, a girl i did senior pictures for this summer, has thyroid cancer, she had half of it removed and has a scar across her throat. Now they are going back in to remove the other half, which means more scaring across her throat. Shes 17... My grandpa had a piece of skin on his face removed yesterday, he has skin cancer. All of this all at once. It feels so out of no where. My mother in law told me that years ago she was told she had cervical cancer. But she refused to have it removed and changed her life. She shows no signs of being sick. They told her a year if she didnt treat. Its been years... A few years ago one of my grammas had a double masectomy from breast cancer. She survived that, only to get drunk and fall, hit her head and end up brain damaged and removed from life support. Life is so fragile right now. Seems like so many people around me are sick and dying. Or could be. Sigh, it makes you grateful for having healthy kids. Beautiful boys that are running around wild and free. So lucky... and it can be snapped away in an instant. Im feeling super emotional tonight. But it all makes me just want to cry.
