That is kind of the reality I've living with myself. My father died of Leukemia when I was young. After college, one of my friends died of brain cancer. Right now my wife and I are dealing with my MILs breast cancer treatment. Meanwhile I found out I had kidney disease due to an auto immune condition a few years back and now I'm on dialysis. Just the other day my sister was talking about dealing with her MILs Alzheimer's disease. Sometimes its just hard to have an optimistic view on live when it all can go tumbling down in a moments notice.
