In late May, my department head announced to our team that he had metastatic cancer in his abdomen. I had never heard of such cancer before and within 10 minutes of Googling, I knew he may not be in our life much longer.

Over the next few months, he went on short-term disability for chemotherapy. From time to time he would show up to our virtual monthly Friday Happy Hour, and we made sure to distract him from chemo.
