I have a friend who has breast cancer. Had, I should say. Apparently, they "got it" all last week. Now it's just a matter of management. Sure, the news is good. Yet, as we all know, the words "You have cancer", linger in our thoughts, as much as we try to shift them away. I want to be there. With phone calls. Cards. Lunches. But I'm wondering, will too much care and concern become a burden? Is there a limit on compassion? I think I'm overthinking. I just want to be a friend, but in today's world when we're tied every moment and minute to communication, is it ever too much? The bigger question... why am I even asking the question in the first place?
