One of my oldest and dearest friends is fighting an illness right now. When I learned what was going on, I kind of froze a little bit, but then I thought everything through and got over my discomfort--my feelings for A are far more important than anything else, and I want to be her friend, care for her and support her as she does through this time.\
We spoke tonight and I am going to make sure to stay connected to her; interestingly, having had a boyfriend who was very ill helped me understand the stages of treatment and discuss where she is in the overall cycle--that is a critical fator if you're the one undergoing all the difficult treatments--as she is.
A, you are in my thoughts, my heart and on my speed dial.
