thinking about rob

a friend of mine from moscow named rob has been struggling with cancer for the past year, and is now in severe liver failure. rob and i were never very close, but he was eli's best friend, so we had plenty of interaction, and it's so weird to think about him dying. i hate the truth that people as young as we are are very capable of death, of getting cancer. i'm terrified of cancer. i don't understand it and i don't want to imagine myself or my loved ones going through what rob and his family are going through now. he is in my thoughts.

September:
Rob is gone now.
