Make it stop

I dropped off the radar out of pure exhaustion on Sunday. Yesterday, I was composing a post when I got a phone call. Yet another close friend has been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. She starts chemo next week so maybe there's hope they can arrest the progress but I fear it doesn't look good for long term survival. Needless to say, I'm kind of a wreck.

I hate this. I'm not young anymore, but I'm not so old that I should be losing so many friends who are even younger than me.
