Gord Downie lead singer of the Tragically Hip, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer last December. The band has been touring Canada this summer- as a final good-bye to all of his fans. Last night, he played his last show. It was also in his hometown, Kingston. At a venue that holds 2,700 people. How intimate and how profoundly sad. The show was broadcast around the world last night.
We know two little fellas who, sadly, lost their lives to brain cancer. It's a scary wake up call to how fragile life really is. The parents, siblings, cousins, aunts & uncles, and close family friends are all left with a hole in their hearts. I hope this spotlight on brain cancer will help the next generation have it a little easier.
There are many types of cancers and tumors, each type is as unique as the person effected by it.
No matter what happens in this world, cherish your family. We're all fighting for something and we all want to be heard and understood. There are people out there in this world who feel they don't have options or a support system. Sharing our stories and struggles will make us more human to one another.
