Another friend just lost a parent to cancer.
Candace was one of our Girl Scouts Troop Leaders. She never cared how loud we had the tv when we were watching New Kids on the Block videos. She completely understood how one day you’d end up married to both Jonathan AND Jordan without it being gross.
Later, she was our volleyball coach, basketball coach, softball coach, and AP Economics and Government teacher. She never gave me shit for being a slow-ass runner on mile days, and would chat with me while I rode the bench.
She’s joining her son up there in the great beyond.
FUCK YOU CANCER!
