Lost April

<p><strong>"Riveting emotional and powerful. Anyone who has ever lost someone to an incurable disease can identify with this heartbreaking true story." </strong></p><p><em>- Sherman Hutchinson</em><br><br>For months I lived among the fearful during the 2020 pandemic but for a different reason.<strong> People I loved were suffering.</strong> With one friend dealing with a second diagnosis of panreatic <strong>cancer</strong> another battling a debilitating <strong>depression</strong> yet another was facing a terminal diagnosis from a surprisingly rare brain <strong>tumor</strong>. The bills previously managed by three people were suddenly thrust on my own shoulders alone. <em>My world collapsed in on me. </em>I would need to learn that <strong>I can't fix everything </strong>and sometimes the only thing left to do is pray for the best outcome.</p><p> </p><p><strong>But amid all of the disaster the most importantly thing I did with my time was comfort someone who lived in daily pain from the cancer he thought he had beaten. </strong></p>
