One of my old friend's grandfather died this morning at 3am from cancer (I believe). Although we dont talk much anymore, I feel that I should have something to say. But I don't. I went through this same thing a short time ago, yet I still cant think of any words to say to make it better. But, having gone through the same thing, sometimes its nice when you get a break from everyones sympathy. I mean, its nice to know that everyone is sorry...but sometimes it gets overwhelming.
So, I sent out a quick, but very thought out facebook messege. Which seems lacking, but its all I could think of.
I was friends with him for years, but for the life of me I cannot think of his grandfathers name. So...this post is in memory of...someone...
For me its in memory of my friend's grandfather, as well as my own. But for you it may be in memory of someone else. Whomever it is for you, I hope that one day we wont be greiving over cancer any longer.

Thanks Lauren... I needed this this morning. Missing Buppie and all the others in life that are now our angels. What i learned from Buppie is that it isn't so much WHAT you say, it is more that you are THERE for someone. he always "showed up" in his life...didn't ignore things, but didn't make them bigger than life either. i tell myself, all the time, when there is something I don't want to do because it might be painful or uncomfortable "you just gotta show up, the rest will take care of it self". Letting your friend know you are thinking about him is the best thing you can do!
