End-of-Year Sadness

My classmate is a very good person. He has an excellent sense of humour, loves to have fun, and is very friendly.

Today, we found out that he's in the hospital and might not make it.

On Friday, while driving, he had a seizure and ran into a house after losing control of the car. He was fine, but when they took him to the hospital, they found a tumor in his brain the size of an egg. Since it was most likely cancerous, they removed it. However, they nicked a blood vessel and he has been hemorrhaging since. At first they thought he might just be paralyzed on his left size, but about forty-five minutes ago we found out that they don't think he'll live through it.

This is upsetting to me. Here we are, almost to graduation, with our entire lives ahead of us, and someone right out of the midst of us has been struck with some of the worst of life's woes.

It's not fair, but what can I do?
