Not to take away from the passing of your friend but I can feel for the fear of knowing someone going through that and the thought of the risk and cut in the longevity of their lives. I to know a friend which I've known since XI that's gone through similar issues, luckily he's stayed healthy for the most part and dialysis has always helped but it is a scary thing.

To think that even with a kidney it can still fail and then you go through that fear all over again, back on dialysis following a regimen and hoping for a donor to come and help you out.

Life is precious and you see a life like this that's taken away because of poor circumstances and yet there are those who just kill and take life away like it's no big deal. It's moments like this where you wish people would understand how precious life is and all this anger hatred and desire to kill one another would just stop because at least those people can be happy that they don't have to deal with a medical condition that puts a risk on how long they can live.

Sorry for getting on a soap box like that but it's time like this where you do wish people would be more considerate over violence and just acts of murder because so many people wish they could at least have that ability to do more but when their lives can be limited because of bad luck with genetics, it's just a shame.

I've honestly dealt with a lot of death around me so seeing things like this I tend to try and detatch myself and try not to think about it. But I think it's worth mentioning how kids with cancer, they just they live with such hope that they can get through it, and me and my brother personally tutored one when we were in 4/5th grade and one day you just get the message that they passed away.

As a kid I don't think I cried or even showed emotion over it, but as I got older it just hits hard to think,a person with such life who wants to live has their life cut short because of unfortunate circumstances. In that same tune, people who are suicidal they could try to be happy with the fact they are at least healthy (for those that are) or at least don't have to go through situations that people with medical problems do.

I'm truly sorry if this isn't the place to be saying all this but it's times like this where reflection is to be observed and even though I didn't know your friend personally the thought that he passed and knowing full well that he wanted to live just brings up these memories because I know it's hard to deal with someone passing, especially when they fight so much to live.
