On September 25, 2013 my son Justin underwent surgery for a tumour in his brain. Surgery revealed the tumour was glioblastoma and it was malignant. Justin started the maximum amount of radiation allowed. Once, I heard “DAMN YOU CANCER GO TO HELL!!!” echo throughout the house, followed by… “why me? I am only twelve!!!  I haven’t even lived long enough to be mean to anyone.” The cancer eventually returned in his spine. After a 10 month battle, Justin passed away at 10:43 AM August 7th, 2014.
