I am looking at your avi right now, and my heart is spilling with ache for your situation.
I feel like that avi everyday.
It may mean something else to others, but to me, it says so much.
In times like this, it is a cry, a giving in and letting go...to who or what, you decide.
I am rambling, I know...in my head my words make perfect sense.
I have typed and erased multiple times to try and convey, but it's just not coming out right.
So I'll just say this.
Help your friend walk on.
The best memories are the ones you will create from this day on.
That is not a statement, it is a suggestion.
This experience is going teach you to appreciate precious life...
to care for someone more than you've ever cared before,and to learn patience, commitment and loss in a most unfortunate way.
(if that sounds like shit, I am sorry, I don't mean it that way.)
But in all of this you will gain so much.
You will discover things about yourself you never knew exisited.
And more than anything, will gain the strength and experience to be a shoulder to some one else who may go through the same thing...some one not as strong as you.
You are probably thinking, "Well, I dont want to learn this way, it's fucked up".
It is, but it is a fact...the situation is not good, and likely there is nothing that will change the fact that things are not looking favorably upon your friend.
So turn this around.
Celebrate everyday, make memories, take tons of pictures, eat, drink and carry on.
And on his dying day, he will be the happiest person in his bed, with you by his side, laughing and remembering, and you will be the person that left him the happiest he had ever been.
And you will be too.
