I believe life is what you put into it. I really do. Yet... there are times like now where the saying above really fits. While I don't have as large circle of friends and relatives as many do, of those I do have, perhaps the nicest relative died of cancer a few years ago, and now I am visiting this weekend the nicest friend, who looks to be suffering the same fate.
I know, "nice-ness" shouldn't determine who has to suffer this type of fate, but #%$# it all, it just ain't right. Neither one led any type of life that should have led to something like this. I guess you need to say to yourself at least I had people like this in my life for as long as they were.
Life's a [fill in the blank]

Sometimes life is just life. And death just is. No fairness to it. We mourn, we move on, we remember what was good, gloss over what was bad, and allow the memories to make us smile through our tears. And then we support those who must go through it again.
I am sorry for your loss and your fear and anger over the potential loss of your friend.
