Doing all the wrong things for the right reasons

Cancer.

Last summer we lost Charles.

This summer, Orville.

What is it about cancer that seeks out amazing people, people who could really make a difference? Both charles and orville had these amazing smiles and they both were people who could just make the world better by being.

And they're the ones.

I just really don't get it, but cures need to be found quickly, i refuse to lose another intelligent and wonderful and beautiful person to this killer.

I know my refusal does nothing.

Cancer is.

And that is the saddest and scariest thing i can imagine.

I think about this daily... whenever I think about beloved Charles. It hurts so bad to think that someone so beautiful and amazing could be gone. There is always a part of me that thinks "this person is good, why didn't a bad person die". You know? I know it isn't a good thought but I often think it anyway.
I am sure your Orville was amazing too. It just isn't fair.
One more thing to add to my list of agrievances for our f@*$ing president, if so many billions of dollars weren't going towards war there would be more towards cancer research. It needs to be done!
