In honor of a friend.....
Hello everyone!
I assure you first, everything is fine with me. Very personal reasons for this post. I'm sad 😥, of course, in the hardest times of life you realize who your real family, friends or people really appreciate you. Real people come out when attention isn't about them...
Sadly some friends are about to press like but not really - because it takes time to read all of this and when they see it's long, he or she skips it. Now I look at those who have time to read this post until the end..... (I think I'll find out 5 🤷🏼).
Cancer is very invasive and harmful, even after treatment is over, your body continues to fight to restore radiation / chemotherapy damage. This is a very long process. 😩
Please in honor of a family member or friend who has died, or is still fighting cancer, or even has cancer, but it is in recovery copy and paste this (do not share) on your page.
So I know who read it, 😍 please write ′′ done ′′ so we can see the power of a team together!
To all those who have lost someone or are in the battle with cancer, hugs to each and every one of you 😘

He had been communicating with two little boys, who had cancer, while he was filming “Black Panther”. They were excited about the movie, the possibility of seeing a black superhero who looked like them, and what it meant to them.

He said they told him “they were just trying to hold on” so they could see the movie.

When he shared that they both passed on, he broke down, remembering them.

He shared this story in 2018, during an interview with the cast of “Black Panther”. For several minutes, he could no longer speak, his head was down, and he tried composing himself, while his co-stars tried to comfort him.

Not many people knew he had cancer himself, that he too was just trying to hold on.

“Chadwick Boseman, the regal actor who embodied a long-held dream of African-American moviegoers as the star of the groundbreaking superhero film ‘Black Panther,’ died on Friday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 43,” according to the New York Times.

“A statement posted on Mr. Boseman’s Instagram account said that he learned he had Stage 3 colon cancer in 2016 and that it had progressed to Stage 4,” according to the Times.

“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” the statement said. “From ‘Marshall’ to ‘Da 5 Bloods,’ August Wilson’s ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.”

Oprah Winfrey, also posting on Twitter, wrote that Mr. Boseman was “a gentle gifted SOUL.”

“Showing us all that Greatness in between surgeries and chemo,” she added. “The courage, the strength, the Power it takes to do that. This is what Dignity looks like.”

“To project such incredible power—and strength—when you are so depleted is almost unfathomable,” according to writer Marlow Stern.

“Chadwick Aaron Boseman was born on Nov. 29, 1976 . . . the youngest of three boys,” according to the Times.

“Boseman did not come from considerable means. He was born in Anderson, South Carolina, to a nurse and textile worker,” according to Stern.

In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2018, he recalled being the target of racial slurs as a child while simply walking down the street.

“Basketball was his first love, and he was getting recruited to play college ball, until a tragedy at his school saw him change course. His teammate was shot and killed; Boseman responded by penning a play in the boy’s honor, Crossroads, and staging it at the school,” wrote Stern.

He started acting late, but he would eventually play “groundbreaking figures like James Brown, Jackie Robinson and Thurgood Marshall, becoming one of his generation’s most sought-after leading men,” according to the Times.

Martin Luther King III, a human-rights activist and the eldest son of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said the actor had “brought history to life on the silver screen” in his portrayals of pioneering Black leaders.

After “Black Panther” premiered, black moviegoers expressed their gratitude, expressing how much the movie meant to them as black Americans, finally seeing a superhero who looked like them. Many of them said that it inspired them and gave them hope.

The movie’s success “represented a moment of hope, pride and empowerment for Black moviegoers around the world,” according to the Times. “And it marked an inflection point in Hollywood, where decades of discrimination against Black-led films gave way to a new era of increased visibility and opportunity for Black artists.”

At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Boseman commented on the film’s cultural impact, saying, “To be young, gifted and Black, we all know what it’s like to be told that there is not a place for you to be featured . . . We know what it’s like to be told there’s not a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you to be featured on. We know what it’s like to be the tail and not the head. We know what it’s like to be beneath and not above.

“And that is what we went to work with every day because we knew . . . we had something special that we wanted to give the world. That we could be full human beings in the roles that we were playing, that we could create a world that exemplified a world that we wanted to see.”

According to the Times, Boseman was a “lifelong admirer of Muhammad Ali [who] sought to wield his celebrity to advance a greater, moral cause. During this summer’s wave of protests against systemic racism and police brutality, he expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement.”

When Boseman was honored with a “hero” award, he invited who he considered a true hero to the stage - James Shaw Jr., who was responsible for disarming a gunman armed with an AR-15 style rifle during the Nashville Waffle House shooting in Antioch, Tennessee and saving lives as a result.

"Receiving an award for playing a superhero is amazing, but it's even greater to acknowledge the heroes that we have in real life," Boseman said.

After Boseman’s death was announced, more than 5.7 million people honored him on Twitter, with their likes, becoming the most liked tweet of all time.

Boseman’s friend and “Marshall” co-star Josh Gad, said of his friend, “He knew how precious every moment was.”

Gad shared one of Boseman’s last text to him about “ finding the beauty within nature, even during the most inconvenient and trying of times,” according to writer Jessica Bennett.

In the text, Boseman wrote:

“If you are in Los Angeles, you woke up this morning to the rare and peaceful sound of steady precipitation. If you’re like me, maybe you looked at the week’s forecast and found that it’s supposed to rain for three straight days; not without breaks of sunlight and reprieves of moist gloom, but yeah it’s gonna be coming down like cats and dog.

“Great. We’re stuck inside these damn quarantines because of the COVID, and now we can’t even get no sun in Cali. Come on now! But now that the rain has stopped and today’s storm has cleared, I urge you to go outside and take a DEEP breath. Notice how fresh the air is right now, after our skies have had a 3 week break from the usual relentless barrage of fumes from bumper to bumper LA commuters, and now today’s rain has given the City of Angels a long overdo [sic] and much-needed shower.

“Inhale and exhale this moment. Thank God for the unique beauties and wonders of the day. We should take advantage of every moment we can to enjoy the simplicity of God’s creation, whether it be clear skies and sun or clouded over with gloom. And hey, if the air is this clear right now, and it does rain tomorrow, I might even put jars and bins out and catch the rain. Throw that in the water filter and I have a water more alkaline than any bottled brand out there.”

“Colore**al cancer is the third deadliest cancer among men and women in the United States -- after lung and prostate in men and lung and breast in women,” according to CNN. ”Medical experts have said colore**al cancer cases among younger people are going up -- with cases among those under 50 increasing since the 1990s, according to a March report by the American Cancer Society.”

“The American Cancer Society recommends regular screening for colon and re**al cancer starts at age 45. Other health organizations in the United States still recommend routine screening starting at age 50.”
