We had bad news today. Our friends are going through the unthinkable, their child has a serious illness. I keep looking at mine and thinking what would I do if it was him? I would lose it, that's what I would do. And yet they are bravely facing all this and hope for the best.
I feel now very guilty for being so small as to worry about his little runny nose and occasional fever and cough. I know people will say it's natural but I can't help but feeling I shouldn't worry so much and enjoy him because you never know in life.
I am proud to be their friend, I mean I was before, but now, in light of this, I am even more for the amazing courage and restraint they are showing.
I know it will all end well, I deeply believe it, I have to. What do you say to them without sounding trite? I think I can only say: I am here, for anything.
All my love,
S.
