Fighting the good fight

Today is a sad day in that I learned that a good friend of mine has been diagnosed with cancer. Bollu, 26, and I went to the same elementary and middle school. We played soccer together. I saw him a couple months ago after a few years and he was himself; full of life and energy. There was no way to tell that his body was slowly eaten away by cancerous cells when we were joking around at the coffee table and playing PlayStation. My prayers are with Bollu and I hope he has the strength to fight through this. I also hope that he gets the support he needs from friends, family and society at large.

  2. One of my former colleagues from Haveeru passed away yesterday from cancer. May he rest in peace. He used to be healthy but his body has wasted away due to cancer. It was such a tragedy. I think the memories are going to linger for a long time.

    Hope your friend has the strength to go through this. And hope his family and friends are there for him in the tough times he has ahead.
