The Straight Talk
The husband of my mom’s neighbor died a few days ago from renal cell cancer AND small cell lung cancer (Just for a little context: their entire family smokes. She does, he did, and their two kids do too.), and the neighbor was obviously extremely sad and broken up about it, but while my mom was trying to console her, this lady kept telling her how she was planning to sue his doctors because they had only recently diagnosed him with this stuff. Honestly, I truly feel bad for her, but I also wanted to be like, Lady, are you kidding me? STOP SMOKING.
Dude! Totally… I just posted about this… it is driving me CRAZY. It is *so* hard to feel bad for people about this stuff. My personal favorite is “I can’t afford my medications” (subtext: because I have to pay for my two packs a day). ARG!
Congrats on the house…
