For the most part, my past and the people that are in it,
have followed me right through to the now.
No secrets, it is what it is.
But, through Facebook an old high school friend (actually much more than an old
friend) and I have reconnected. For a
few minutes as I read or type, I feel like I am 16 again, with all of the
memories and excitement of a giddy teenager.
As we exchange information about how our lives moved on, our parents,
our children, spouses and jobs, I wonder are there rules about telling someone
that you have a chronic terminal illness.
hmmmm?
Is it important?
Will it scare them?
Will I feel less than?
Do they care?
Is it too personal?
And….how the hell do you even start that conversation?????
Someone really does need to write a rule book on this!
(For the record, I have decided not to, because at least in
one person’s eyes, I am still whole and….I like that!)
