I’ve just sat down after seeing my friend Jordan for the first time since he was diagnosed with leukemia almost a month ago.
He’s walking with a cane, his hair is short and falling out, his face is a little swollen, and there are chemotherapy ports hanging from his arm.
Jordan is one of the best people that I know. He’s a senior, a mostly A-student, he played for the baseball team, he goes to auto repair ROP, he got accepted to the Universal Technical Institute in Sacramento. He’s got over 200 hours of community service, not for any kind of credit, but because he loves to help out in his community. He’s respectful, charming, generous, caring, and has the noble spirit that you only find in the princes of fairy tales.

From wikipedia:
Big Joe Turner (born
Joseph Vernon Turner Jr., May 18, 1911 – November 24, 1985[1]) was an American blues shouter from Kansas City, Missouri.
Although he came to his greatest fame in the 1950s with his pioneering rock and roll recordings, particularly "Shake, Rattle and Roll", Turner's career as a performer stretched from the 1920s into the 1980s.
