It was a normal day on the computer, I was browsing my favorite blogs when i stumbled across a link I hadn't seen before. I click on it and there was a page honoring an "Internet acquaintance" of mine named Jen G. It mentioned something about her son having cancer. I rushed over to Jen's blog and posted a quick, "I'm sorry." As I read on I found out that her son actually died 7 months ago. He was diganosed with colon cancer at 12, and died a little bit after his 13th birthday. He was granted a wish by "make a wish" foundation, but was even too ill to enjoy it. Jen seems to be in good spirits, scrapbooking her memories of her son and thankful for the time she had with him. I can't stop the tears though. I wouldn't expect a young boy to get colon cancer. I wouldn't expect it. It's just shocking. It's a good thing to realize how fragile life is. AND, that all men need to be checked regularily. I'm not trying to depress anyone, but I just wanted to share.
