A year ago today a dear friend of mine died after a long and courageous struggle against bone cancer. He was 36. He was an amazing character, optimistic, fun-loving and clever. Everyone who met him loved him and he is sorely missed. Another friend and i went to visit him in hospital in Marseille about 10 days before he died. Today, incredulous that a year had already passed, we raised a glass to his memory.
Dad lost an old friend to cancer last year and Mum too. All of our friends struggled on for a while against this horrible disease and our experiences of being aware of the situation and wanting to know how things were going, but without intruding, are part of what made me want to write this blog.
