Crying this morning.
One of my lovely UK choir friends, David, is dying of cancer. Only very recently diagnosed and way too late for any treatment.
His son (also a lovely friend who started and led our online choir through Lockdown) just posted that the illness progressed even more rapidly than expected. His dad can't respond to messages anymore and is being kept comfortable.
Only a couple of days left at most.
