Speaking of facebook. One of my so called friends decided to delete me and then post on her wall how I was full of self pity because Steve had cancer. All because I told her I thought people should donate to fund raising if they really cared about curing cancer. She hasn't seen me at all for the 10 months since Steve was diagnosed and has no idea of how we cope day to day with what Steve's been through. If there's one thing I'm not, it's full of self pity. S**t happens and it just so happened that cancer decided to pick on us, along with millions of other people. We deal with it the best we can and always stay positive. God forbid she ever has to go through something like this and needless to say that friendship will never, ever return.
