Life can be so unfair

I am deeply saddened by the news of a colleague who had just a few days ago been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic stomach cancer. A pleasant, unassuming guy just a year older than I am, married with a small kid and a bright future as a doctor. Prognosis is possibly a few months to a year. How does one face mortality at such a young age and at such short notice?

It all seems so surreal...

You never know about life.

Sorry to hear about your colleague, it must be very scary.

Yeah, things can be so unpredictable. Makes me wonder why we are sweating the small stuff when we really should be living life abundantly...
