synapse collapse

I’m getting bored with posting political shit, so I’m taking a break on that today. Instead, a very moving reminder that things could always be worse.

Nathan Gentry, age 6, sits by a window overlooking New York City traffic on September 8, 2006. Nathan’s mother: “We were in NYC consulting with the doctors there after Nathan’s second relapse. He had much treatment in NYC in previous years and LOVED the city. He died about 10 months after this picture was taken. Part of the reason I treasure this photo is I can see his feet. I spent hours rubbing those feet while he had a very painful treatments.” (© Susan Gentry, who asked for a link to the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation)
