Cancer is tragic

My daughter's five-year old friend lost her father to cancer yesterday. He'd beaten it once, but it apparently returned with a vengeance and he succumbed yesterday morning.

I cannot describe the incredible sense of loss, sadness and anger I feel...and I'm merely an acquaintance. All I know is that two little girls - young girls - have lost their father forever. They'll grow up without him. And they'll learn, at a very young age, what death really means.

My heart breaks for the family.
