I'm not exactly close with the person, but his daughter and I used to be friends. We're not anymore, mind you. We barely even speak to each other. Probably wouldn't speak at all if it wasn't for the fact that she's in a relationship with one of my husband's friends. But yeah. Her dad is in the hospital, and she was told earlier today that he probably only has a few hours left. So he might be gone by now; I don't know. Until this happened, he was relatively healthy, in his 50s. And they just found out that he even had it only like a week ago. That has to be fucking terrifying. One day, you're totally fine. Several days later, you find out you're dying and can't even see your family, except through a glass wall. Fuck me. I can't even imagine that. Don't want to ever have to. I wish this fucking disease would just go the fuck away already.
