Found out about a month ago that my cousin Clark has cancer. Well today found out that he had to go into hospice and that they are only giving him a week to live. But he is in alot of pain now and they had to up his meds. He can not feel his arms and legs, he is just having a hard time.
I remember growing up and going to my aunts house and playing with him ( he is 4 yrs younger than me). One occassion I remember real well is going camping and having to use a out house (I hate bugs and snakes) so every time I had to go to the bathroom he would go with me. I would keep the door open because of the spiders in it and he would kill them for me. He would stand outside the door and not look unless I called for him. We shared a bunk bed he slept on the top bunk and I slept on the bottom bunk. My cousin Michelle his sister slept on another bed.
I will be sad when he goes but I will know he is no longer in pain. I feel bad for his children even though I never met them and the rest of the family too. I will keep his memory alive through the Relay For Life in the greater gardner area. I like to do luminary bags in the memory of my relatives and friends that have died of cancer to let others know that they are not alone in this world. Everyone in this world is effected by cancer in one way or another, wether it is a friend or a loved one. Just keep in mind that when they die they are no longer in pain and can rest. We just have to deal with the sadness of loosing someone we cared about and it is not always easy.
