You know, DP. I say screw that and get packed. You may not be able to do anything while there, but I think you'd feel better in the long run. Can the party wait?

I was going to complain about my bad day... but I suddenly realized that it ain't that bad after all.

Hang in there, Disneyphile.

Yeah, what NA said - parties can wait. I know I would understand fully - as would anyone else.

Oh, I'm sending you lots of energy and strength, DP - my mom has been moving into the "reject treatment" phase too, and I have found it's very, very difficult to me to deal with. But being there - seeing you in person convincing her otherwise - can make all of the difference. I agree with NA - hop in the car and go. It's your first impulse - and it's a good one.

DP - NA's right, just go. You won't be sorry.

I say go.
:)



You know, when I see katiesue's name, I sometimes say it out loud in a Southern accent.
Kaytaysooo!

How do you say 'it' with a Southern accent?

Oh, never mind. :D

Memo to self- open flu then light fire.

DP - get in the car and go.

Memo to KatieSue: Put down one of those pina colodas!

DP: I don't know what the time frame is for the party, but sometimes having something "fun" to share can be helpful - they don't feel like they're being a burden, and you don't have to spend as much time trying to figure out what to talk about that's cheerful and non-cancer-related.

So trust your instincts. We'll be strong for you so you can be strong for them.
