So you may notice I deleted my last post. I had a moment. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry.
Honestly, I didn't delete it for anyone else's benefit. I just had some time to think on it and I'm honest enough to say I was being immature. I don't believe any friend I was referring to read the post and I'm glad for that.
Just know this: if you have a friend who is hurting or sick, don't stop calling just to say hi. Sick friends don't expect you to know what to say. They don't expect you to placate them. They just want to know you still care.
Sometimes, just the fact that someone took the time to acknowledge them is the best medicine.
I really believe most people just don't know what to say when someone is chroniclly ill or terminal ill. I find just like you said let them know they still care and treat them no differently. Except with consideration. When people found out I was bipolar people treated me like I had something I could give them like herpes. I didn't find you being immature but had your feelings hurt. Everyone needs to vent at times.
