When people talk about 2016, people focus on the beloved celebrities that have died during the course of the year.

There have been so many.

And for some reason, Carrie Fisher hurts me the most.  She was STABLE, dammit!  She shouldn’t have died.

Maybe it’s because she’s a link to my childhood that’s now been broken.

Maybe it’s because I’ve also had a bad year – what with the cancer and all – and this is a reminder to me that all of the positive steps forward in treatment could just as quickly turn around.  Because that sometimes happens.  Because cancer sucks.
