This actually isn't my story but I feel it needs telling. My friend, Eddie, never married or had children. At times we questioned if he even liked kids lol. He was diagnosed with melanoma 7 years ago and according to the doctors beat it. Two years ago it returned in the same place and months later learned that it had spread to his organs, there wasn't much left to do but get his affairs in order and spend what time there was with his friends, we were the only family he had. The last time I saw him was the night before he passed, I never got the chance to actually say goodbye because I expected to see him again in a few days. The call the next day was utterly shocking. What we found out later was even more of a shock....He left everything he had, houses, money, cars to St. Jude's because he knew how important it was to expand and fund research into childhood diseases!
Thanks for reading.
