This is going to be a ramble, I apologise in advance.
Since Tuesday morning, life has been really rough. Friends I've known since high school, friends of my brother, have a small boy named Jude. Since he's been 1 1/2 years old, he's been fighting cancer. This past summer he got to ring the bell at our local childrens hospital, the IWK, which means you're done chemo and you're in remission.
Yesterday he died cause the cancer came back with a vengeance, the tumor behind his nose and got so big it literally stopped him breathing. He wasn't even 3 years old.
As a parent, I am devastated and can't even begin to imagine how my friends are feeling. It has made me do nothing but hold my children closer to me. Sometimes as parents we take life for granted with our kids, sometimes they royally piss us off but when shit like this happens it makes me thankful I didn't have to spend over a year having to deal with constant doctor appts. My heart is in shambles and I don't understand why this beautiful boy had to die before his 3rd birthday and only know life as being sick...
I'm not RPing. I can't even think about it. I just needed to let you all know why.

Ian mate... I'm sorry. That is awful. Don't worry about RP'ing - as Ace said real life must ALWAYS take priority. My sympathies dude.

My youngest son turns 1 tomorrow. I don't like reading these types of things ever, but especially not around this time. That sucks man.

That's so sad. Sorry to read this, Ian. Sucks so much. Take your time to come back. Never a rush to return with things like that going on IRL.
