The Bigger Picture

On Wednesday I went to a funeral. I was pretty down because someone I use to work with had passed away from cancer. Bruce had a patch of cancer on his face (he had this once before) and they took it off. This was sometime after I had been diagnosed. It wasn't healing properly. It had spread but wasn't considered serious. I last saw him after Thanksgiving and he said they were talking about doing chemo. I was a little confussed that Bruce was gone and I'm still here. The really sad part is that he was 58 but he left an eleven year old set of twins without a father. Bruce only had one kidney and chemo does a job on kidneys and the liver. So his kidney shut down and dialysis didn't help. His family will be in my prayers and Bruce will be with God.
