Saying Goodbye...

Today I will be attending a funeral for the father of one of my best friends, Ryn.  We have been close since kindergarten...each time we see each other, picking up exactly where we left off.  Her father, who served as the Superintendent of the Irving School District for 40+ years, developed cancer a few short years ago and lost his battle Sunday evening.  During his illness, Ryn flew back and forth visiting between here and San Fransisco where she lives, and was able to make it just 2 hours before he passed to say goodbye....he was obviously waiting for her.  Mr. Singley will be dearly missed...

Cancer SUCKS! My husband's uncle is in surgery right now for colon cancer that he found out about on Tuesday.

I'm so sorry for your loss and for your friend's family.

I love that he held on long enough for her to be there with him.

I agree, cancer completely SUCKS! What a blessing that she got to see her dad.
Prayers are with their family and you!
