Overheard on Thursday from back home that someone I knew lost his fight against leukemia. His leukemia came back the 4th time a few months back, and it was very devastating to hear he didn't make it after a 11-year fight against this dreadful disease. Hundreds of people from my hometown are in mourning right now. Many were impacted were his story (including me), and supported him along the way whatever possible. Upon hearing the news, I almost broke down in tears, because I didn't know that he wasn't going to make it - details that I did not know until yesterday.
I have personally met him a few times. While I don't know him personally, in the few times I met him, I noticed he funny guy all around, never letting multiple bouts of leukemia take away the fun and humor he brought to himself and others he met in his short, but meaningful life. His fight taught me to enjoy life at its fullest and never to constantly complain about little negative things happening in life. Truly something that I'll be keeping in mind now and in the in the coming weeks and years.
I'll sorely miss him. RIP
