Things I’d really like to say when I’m told:
– “Everything will be alright!”
– Thanks. (Can I get a signed guarantee on that?)
– “Doctor’s don’t know what they’re talking about!”
– You’re right. (And your medical degree is from WHAT hospital??)
– “Stay POSITIVE!”
– I will. (Are you blind? Can’t you see that I am?)– “Don’t lose hope!”
– I won’t! (My hope is that we have a good life – I’m not losing that.)
– “This is part of god’s plan…”
– Okay… (Well, allow me to say the plan sucks. And why is he telling everyone else but us – hey, stop talking behind our backs!)
What would I really like folks to say?
– This sucks.
– You can get through this.
– Life is still beautiful.
– Hi.
So – what DOES one get the man who needs time for Father’s Day?
