Nobody deserves to die from lung cancer. I was 22 when my father told me he had been diagnosed with lung cancer. It was a moment in my life I will never forget, like a large boulder had been lodged in the pit of my stomach, and it stayed there.
1 The source of a river may be a spring, often on a hill, mountain, glacier, or another high place. A spring is water that flows out from under the ground. 2  The source of a river may be a lake where lots of water from small streams gathers when it rains or snows.  A river may begin in mountains where there is snow.
A river begins at a source (or more often several sources), follows a path called a course, and ends at a mouth or mouths. The water in a river is usually confined to a channel, made up of a stream bed between banks. In larger rivers there is often also a wider floodplain shaped by flood-waters over-topping the channel.
