I have a teeny problem, Edwarda. I can't say anything positive to jp. About the news of her cousin. This has been bothering me. I mean, besides the news of jp's relation and what difficult times may be coming.
I wrote my opinion, I guess maybe it might be a teeny bit or a lot oriented to survival through this kid of thing, but it's not what I would call hopeful or encouraging.
I haven't posted it, because I think maybe I shouldn't, because it's not what people are saying and it's not encouraging, and it might not be helpful. Or might seem smarty-pants or counterproductive. You know, that Paul is always a downer. Always thinks HE knows what's happening. Or feels he is experiencing this more deeply than other people.
When a diagnosis of cancer is encountered, "handed down", I don't (can't) think positive thoughts and pray. I can just worry.
So I haven't been able to say anything, which makes it seem like I haven't noticed it, or don't think much about it, or don't want to help or encourage, or that I discount the value of other's good wishes.
Or maybe I even DO discount them, for ME.
I don't know.
But I feel odd and helpless, and I thought I should scare you with it.
Let me know if it works.
