I went to a party for Will's school last night and had such a nice time, I love his school and I love the people who hang out at the school. They are so loving and kind, I had several people come up to me and tell me that they have been praying for me this entire battle and two of them I just knew by faces not names, and I just thought it was the sweetest thing in the world that they were praying for me. I was showing the girls my bald head (I try not to take my hat off in mixed company) and one of the men walked in and he was so sweet, said the nicest things.
Today went to run some errands and ran into several friends who were also so kind and sweet. I guess if there was some good things to come out of all this, it is how many people have been sweet to me (minus strangers in post offices and churches) and I am just floored by how many people are on my side and fighting with me against this disease.
That's the good end of things, then there are those in my life who know I am going through all this craziness and they don't really seem to care, and these are people who should be kind and patient with me. I rarely pull my "cancer" card, but you know, if a friend of mine was going through this, I certainly wouldn't pick this time to talk behind their back or to hold a grudge or to flat out just ignore them, especially if I had done something to help them in their lives. I just don't get that kind of behavior at all. It's happened to me twice this week, and of course I was hurt by these actions. I consider myself a good friend, I'll do anything for you and give you anything, but I kinda expect you to be (at minimum) polite to me.
So my interesting conclusion for the day is....complete strangers are praying for me and two "friends" are just being selfish and ugly, maybe it's time to switch out the strangers and "friends"!
