The fear of losing a friend...
so I don’t know if I mentioned that while at my last chemo treatment I saw a friend that I’d heard wasn’t doing well…she didn’t look as sick as I’d anticipated and she knew who I was…I wish I could do something for her. Anything to make her more comfortable, smile more, laugh, anything but it’s hard to know what to do for some one you only know a little. I’ve sent her notes to let her know she is in my thoughts, prayers and heart so I just hope she knows. I am lucky to have my mother, kids, and sister when I feel down…they just always seem to call at the right times. so on another note I just got a call from my dad saying he was at the airport and on his way over…I mean he told me he was coming but his track record made me shrug it off. I hope we have a nice visit
I think what you are doing for this new friend is perfect. All we really want to know is that we are cared for and that someone is thinking of us. I was always touched when a coworker or someone at chemo did me a kindness, that’s why I try to do something for someone every day. Paying it forward is one fine way to feel better, especially on a blue day. I hope your dad does make it and you have a good visit. :)
