Cancer is a murdering SOB. The list of people I've lost to it, or people near & dear to me have lost to it, is lengthy: Both my grandmothers; the little brother of 2 high school friends (while we were still in HS); the Chief's younger sister (and his older sister is now battling it); parents of too many friends; the Chief's mom; my mom; Mom's older brother; a friend last year; a neighbor earlier this week; and now The Flibbertigibbet. She went suddenly (she was only diagnosed last month), and much too young. She was the heart & soul of the local community theater world; odds are excellent that if you never worked on a show with her, you worked with someone who did, and everyone who's ever worked with her loved her.
I had to call a couple of out-of-town friends last night to let them know. The first one immediately asked about the Chief's and my health and ordered us to "stay healthy!" I'd share that advice with you - please, for the sake of those who love you, take good care of yourself so you'll be around for a good, long time.
