Richie
Sent in by: Yuuna Bell
About a week before Valentine's Day I received a phone call that my uncle who lives hundreds of miles away was in the hospital and had cancer again. He's gone through it 2 times previously and survived. But this time it spread very very quickly. Too quickly to perform any cheamo. He grew very frail and could not eat or drink anymore. On Valentine's Day another call got through. He's died. My great Aunt was so shaken she couldn't speak to us on the telephone. Then, in the trunk of the new car that he had just bought for her before he left, she found a card. "Happy Anniversary Sweet heart. I love you. -Richie." It was their 45th anniversary.
Thanks for reading this. I hope we find a cure soon. I miss him terribly.
