Super Bowl Sunday (February 1st) marks exactly one year since my friend Alex took his own life. Losing someone you care about always proves tough. In addition to Alex, last year I also lost a big supporter in my aunt. She passed away from graft-versus-host disease, essentially dying indirectly from leukemia. Now I bring up…
