So...I get an email today.
A former college roommate, who was one of my best friends my freshman year in college, had been feeling sick for a while, and was admitted to a hospital for some testing. Yesterday he was diagnosed with advanced leukemia. He literally died a few hours later.
Blink.
How can someone have advanced leukemia to the point of death and not have known sooner?
While I hadn't maintained more than limited contact with him in the last few years, I am saddened by the loss of a great person who was a great friend during college. He is one of the few people I have ever known that truly had it as a goal to make the lives of everyone he had contact with better. Self sacrificing, caring, and compassionate.
He was 38 years old.
