I buried my cousin today

Cancer.

This country is fractured and wounded. Please don't let them frame the narrative.

Don't let them gaslight you.

An unfinished life is a terrible thing to see.

Don't let them attack you for fighting.

When they go low, DON'T BACK DOWN.

My sympathies.

Such a beautiful and poignant way you expressed that: "an unfinished life is a terrible thing to see."

My father died April 25th after a sudden illness. My Uncle, my moms brother, died of cancer on May 3rd. My mother, my sister and I are having a rough time. 2017, has really sucked, so far. I will fight until the end of my life. I hope everyone here does the same.
