A Short Letter To Cancer

...I wish you didn't exist

A Short Letter To Cancer

Why do you exist? Why do you think you can come into the lives of any person you feel appropriate and just ruin them? Why is it okay for you to come into family’s lives and cause nothing but sorry, grief, pain, and loss?

Coming from the girl whose life you ruined when you took my dad from me at the young age of 48, I just wanted to say I absolutely hate you. You are unwanted and disgusting. There is absolutely nothing about you that anyone likes and I wish you would just not exist. How could you go on knowing you get people so sick? Solely because of you, human beings have to allow poison to run their veins trying to prevent you from spreading through their body and while doing so, their sickness just gets worse.
Cancer, it is because of you existing that my family’s heart was broken. It is because of you I have nightmares of my Dad screaming for help from the bathroom because the chemo he had to receive because of you. It is because of you I see my Dad in my dreams and he looks as if he is 500 years old. It is because of you my siblings and I are left fatherless and my mother is left without a husband.

You have ruined the lives of many. It isn’t fair that so many memories have to be ruined knowing you are involved. You have ruined so many people’s faith in God and ruined many people’s ability to be positive.

Those you have affected, you have ruined forever.

I wish you didn’t exist.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
