Dad passed away while I was at UT from lung cancer. That was a rough semester.
Closest childhood friend (went to UT together, I was in his first wedding) passed away at 39. Left behind a wife and five kids. One of the greatest guys I ever knew. I spent a lot of time wondering why him and not me (single, no kids, pretty damn selfish person in general).
Fuck cancer - fuck it right in the ass.
