    Same here. Nobody should have to go through that in their life.

    Speaking of apologists.

    When the term fits, I use it. And I've handled your lame dig and the misleading approach of others just fine. The fact that you are relying on personal digs and lame comments about typos simply backs me up on that.

    Thanks... I didn't know him that well, but she's one of the nicest people I've ever met... Her brother was my "little brother" when we played football. They would pair a junior with a freshman and we would show them the ropes... Kind of a cool thing that my school did. I already knew him through his sister, because I was dating her best friend at the time. I stayed friends with her and her brother over the years. Just one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He'd had health issues when he was younger and they had tried for so long to have a kid and they finally did. It was such a huge thing for them. I'd see the pictures on FB as he was getting skinnier and skinnier and it just fucked me up to imagine someone having to watch their spouse go through that.

    I was on the phone with her brother last night. He was saying that no matter how much she had prepped herself for it, nothing really can ever properly prepare you for something like that.
