Meanwhile...

So, while my life is bliss, others'... not so much.

My roommate's sister Dorney died of a brain tumor this afternoon. She'd had the tumor for several years, had two surgeries, but it kept rearing its ugly head, and finally beat her. She was 32.

The thing that gets me is this: it wasn't even cancerous. It was a benign brain tumor that killed her. It grew too fast so radiation wasn't helpful enough. It got tangled up in blood vessels so surgery couldn't remove all of it. So ultimately, calling something benign means nothing if you die because of it.

The world is an unfair place sometimes.
