He said what meant more than anything to him was for people to just treat him as they always had in the past ... to not be afraid to ask him questions.<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you.

I agree with Jen from Sprite's Keeper. Have your friend read your blog.

It sounds like you're doing for her what you can and should be doing. Don't beat yourself up for things you're not able to do. Just keep reminding her to fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Cancer is the most feared word in the English language. <BR/><BR/>I really, really, really hope she gets to wear the honored label: survivor. We need more of them.<BR/><BR/>K, this is getting really long but one other thing...cry with her. Tell her how scared you are for her to leave you. Be afraid with her. Don't be afraid to talk about it, though. I remember when I was diagnosed the first time (I was 16) my friends all came over and there was this big, huge elephant in the room until my dad said, "it's ok to say the "C" word". I hope this helps.AS Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824357857464010209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877978011278238721.post-47212263489377875932009-01-05T16:23:00.000-08:002009-01-05T16:23:00.000-08:00If you answer her calls, you're forgiven.

If you give her your thoughts, you're forgiven. My heart is breaking for your friend, too young to meet eternity, but my heart also breaks for you, for unfortunately, no matter how much you do, you cannot do much more than you already have. I think that if she knew how much this was hurting you, she would tell you to knock it off. She'd rather see you happy and being you. You're linked and definitely forgiven!Sprite's Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790341033920919000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877978011278238721.post-17962472861244733532009-01-05T15:36:00.000-08:002009-01-05T15:36:00.000-08:00Wow.
