An acquaintance of mine died last week. He was the father of one of the boys who recently graduated from our scout troop. He had cancer. He was doing poorly on Easter weekend, so he went in for some tests. He received the results on Wednesday, when the family was gathered. They had sent out for some pizza. The news was bad. The cancer had spread to his lungs and lymph nodes. He spent the evening with his children and died the next morning.
I called a friend tonight to tell her that Cindy and I were engaged. She was excited, but after a while she mentioned that she's had a bad month. I asked her why and she told me that her brother had killed himself. He discovered that his wife had been cheating on him for the last six months, with his best friend. My friend had gone away for a weekend, back in March, and when she returned there were some packages from her brother, which included a suicide note.
