Bren…

Lotta shit in the news the last 24 hours. A ton of noise that will just get noisier and I want to tune it out. I know I can’t but I will try.

To that ends, I’m focusing on one story that matters… the passing of actress Shannen Doherty at 53 after a decade-long battle with both breast and brain cancer.

I know she’s in a better place. I know she’s not in pain anymore. But it doesn’t make it suck any less.

Not that I was a huge fan of Shannen, but I grew up with Beverly Hills 90210 and enjoyed the first season or two of it and I respected her. Her characters through the years had some fire to them and that made them interesting. She had fire to her and that made her interesting.

But two different forms of cancer on the same body? What kind of brutal crap is that? No one deserves that.

I guess if nothing else, we can rest knowing that Dylan and Brenda are back together and nothing will ever tear them apart.

RIP Shannen Doherty

Here is one of my favorite gigs of hers. From the show Riverdale eulogizing Luke Perry after his untimely passing.

Yes it is.

I was sad to read about her passing. I wasn't a big fan but she struggled with cancer for some time now. As you said above, she is in a better place.

I’m happy she’s no longer suffering.
