Last night I was told that I seem to always have a smile on my face with a positive attitude. While it's a huge compliment, obviously they do not read half of these blog posts where I vent and bitch about everything that has happened to me.
While I promised a fun post once I hit one thousand views, a more pressing issue has risen that I need whoever reads this to help me with. This great guy I know, who used to hang out with my group of friends from time to time, was diagnosed with leukemia. Typing those words have put a serious knot in my throat. I don't see the guy often anymore, in fact probably have not seen him in over a year. But you know those types of people that you just know are good people, well this guy is that person. He always has a smile on his face, was always very nice and open to talk to, and just like I said a great guy.
Now when I saw him thanking people for prayers on Facebook, I asked my friend who introduced me to him what happened. She didn't know, until this morning when she talked to his sister and got the information. The text from my friend was a kick in the stomach. Even though I haven't talked to the kid in a year I'm willing to go visit him at the hospital. And ever since then, I have been wondering why bad things happen to good people. I'm not even talking about me. This kid is young, he doesn't deserve to go through this.
So basically this is what I'm asking every person who reads this blog post. Can you please send out good, positive thoughts for my friend who is going through this trying time. I don't want to put a name here just because I feel weird with privacy and stuff. But everyone's well wishes helped me through this difficult year. And he needs our support. As weird as this may sound, I feel like this is plea for the help of my readers is doing something, anything, to try and get him better. Because while sickness is never a good thing, it really is not fair when it's a 25 year old. Thanks everyone
