A Six Letter Word

Cancer.
A guy I know, has been diagnosed with cancer. I've known him all my life, but we were never very close. I don't really know much about it, but it's just depressing. I don't understand how people who know him can just carry on with their lives when he's suffering in some hospital. It's hard not to cry about it. I mean, the last time I saw him was on grade 8 graduation night, and now he may not live to see 12th grade graduation.
Geez, and I thought I had problems? I'm just realizing how petty my so called "problems" are.
He's just a kid. A funny, optimistic, smart, amazing kid.
