Life is not fair.

I've got a very good friend. And she's one of the friendliest, nicest, most outgoing and upbeat people that I've ever met. She's never a bitch and she doesn't get down on people or herself for that matter. She's THE single most positive person that I've ever met.

That's why I was so surprised to find out that her mom had died of cancer when she was about 8 or 9. That kind of tragedy is just unfathomable. You don't think about death at that age. That is something that little kids aren't meant to and shouldn't have to deal with.

Her dad is very upbeat too. He remarried a few years later and is a very joyful person. My friend really likes her stepmom, which is not always the case in these situations.

Now his second wife has cancer. Again. She had it before, but was thankfully in remission. Now she's been re diagnosed and given 18 months to live.

It's just so fucking unfair.
