My neighbor, Dave, is a very fine man. We’ve never discussed politics even once. He is in his late 60’s and has been diagnosed with a bad, very aggressive form of “Mantle” lymphoma.
I can’t tell you how tired I am of losing friends to STINKING cancer.
He is projected to have 2 years at best. Now, I am a person of faith. He already knows that my entire family and network of friends are praying for him.
My oldest son lives far away, but the middle kid (while he is sequestered) wants to do all his yard work. My daughter will do his shopping. She’s 16.
My question to you folks is - what can we do to really help him? I mean, we can react and pull weeds and chase groceries on his ‘immuno-compromised ‘ behalf - - but what would YOU want? My experience is limited here. I think I would want sincerity and just genuine friendship - but he has that (and it is a trite offering). We will continue being his friends.
Any suggestions on what we can/should do? I don’t reach out much on this forum. We’re usually too busy beating each other up. If you have a thought, I’d love to hear it. This man - and his wife - are great people.
Thank you.
