I miss you Pops!
It was four years ago that I lost you. Every day since has been tough in various ways, but because of you, I keep pushing through because I don't want to let you down.
I miss you more than I ever could have imagined. I miss your smile, I miss your laugh, I miss our conversations, I miss hanging out, I miss helping you with your computer, I miss seeing you drink your Miller Lite, I miss your hugs and your warm embraces!
Thank you for being the best father a son could ever have dreamed about having. Thank you for teaching me everything you taught me. It's because of you that I'm where I'm at today and that @bianca and myself have the life that we have. While I know you'd say I put in the hard work to accomplish it all, you taught me what to do and how to do it and I'll forever be grateful.
I hope that wherever you're at, whatever you're doing, you're having fun and enjoying it to the fullest. One day we'll be together again, but until then, I miss you and I love you Pops!
...und dann trifft dich die Realität mit voller Wucht, wenn die Chemo härter rein haut als angenommen, und die Miniwe plötzlich büschelweise Haare verliert.
BE KIND IN THIS HEAT
i have been thisclose to an #autistic meltdown because the A/C in my apartment is broken and i have had problems sleeping at night.
also, as many of y’all know, it has not been a year since my last #cancer treatment. my body is still coping with the after-effects of chemo, immunotherapy and radiation. my nuclear boob is still breaking out in a rash if it’s too hot or too sunny.
so just a reminder: the heat exacerbates many conditions.
be mindful. be kind. #fuckCancer
My sister-in-law who has been a friend for over 20 years has been battling #Leukemia for 5 years, and is now halfway across the country receiving #stemcell treatments.
The treatments themselves are covered by our national healthcare system and my brother's insurance, however, travel, lost wages, child care and other expenses are NOT covered and must come out of pocket.
If you can, please consider contributing to their #gofundme:

Thank you all, and please BOOST for reach!
Heading out to drop off a stool sample for the colon cancer screening.

Beste #fahrradbubble am #weltfahrradtag - Bitte unterstützt Anni, die aufgrund ihrer plötzlichen & schweren Erkrankung ihren Fahrradladen in #Kiel auflösen muss. #fuckCancer
Danke an ihre tollen FreundInnen und KollegInnen aus den anderen Fahrradläden, die ihr so zur Seite stehen
Great news yesterday from my sister's oncologist. She continues to amaze. #fuckcancer
I was able to buy the compressor, expansion valve and drier to fix the A/C in my old Beemer today. Saved over a hundred bucks buying all the same shit on eBay instead of my usual drug dealer.
Really enjoying getting to know all you intelligent, clever, empathetic humans here in the #Fediverse
Fuck Cancer
Und hier noch mal was zu Anni und Annis-Fahrradladen. Die ein oder andere zufriedene Kundin, der ein oder andere zufriedene Kunde hat ja vielleicht etwas übrig um Anni den schweren Weg jetzt ein winziges bisschen leichter zu machen.

Cartoon by Joe Heller. I lost a grampa, an aunt and my older brother to cancer and my dad at 92 was recently diagnosed with skin cancer (again).

It is official. The Government want me to give them shit.
I will be happy to oblige!
Biden won’t benefit from his own Cancer Moonshot:
$150M+ for cutting-edge cancer research
mRNA vaccine trials
tumor-removal tech
ARPA-H is pushing personalized treatments built on COVID-era breakthroughs. The goal? Cut cancer deaths by 50% in 25 years
That’s good governance. That’s Biden's legacy
**Sensitive story**
Last year, early April, I get a call from my dear friend Luke. He says he’s confused. Had a work mtg in front of 75 people. All the sudden couldn’t gather his thoughts, couldn’t speak. Had to leave abruptly. Super embarrassed and concerned, he says to me I think I had a panic attack. We talk about it. Talk to my wife. Few days go by and he gets to the Dr. has an MRI done.
BOOM! His world is rocked! Tells me that he has a large stage 4 aggressive #braincancer #glioblastoma tumor in his head about! 3 days later he has a surgical resection.
That was 13 months ago, 2 resections, 2 chemo and radiation stints, countless drugs, seizures, debilitations, along the way. Until this last Monday. Luke had passed away, RIP. He isn’t suffering anymore, thankfully. He was a fighter thru and thru. 48yrs young. #fuckcancer you took my dear friend!!!
may his family curse befall him soon
