So...What would you do if you knew you were going to die, of something uncurable, and you knew it would be soon? Now...ask yourself that again, but from the point of a woman who has no children, no husband, isn't really in the prime of her youth, and has very little money. All I was doing today was having a pint with my dad in the pub, grieving for my nan, and after he left, I was about to finish my drink when my mom's friend called me over. As usual, she was drunk as hell, and when I sat down, she started to talk. Badly.
"Hi Rob...this is my mate Anne...and...and I told her you could help cause you're great....". I thought, Jesus Christ, what has she got me into now, but I just smiled at Anne and asked what was wrong. Turns out she was going to die soon..something to do with her brain. She started off explaining how she was trying to be brave, and how there was nothing she could do about it at the end of the day, so she may as well accept it. But...within a couple of minutes, she just starts to cry, telling me she's scared of death, that she just wants it all to go away, she's sick of the pain and wants it all to be back to normal...and then she just looks at me and asked for my help...
What could I do? There wasn't much I could think of...I just let her cry into my shoulder for a while, saying nothing. I hated every moment of it...what was I supposed to do to make it all better? In the end, she just thanked me, went back to my mom's friend and carried on talking. I guess...moral of the story is...we all think we can cope till the chips are down...and then what can you do? If I can't even be there for someone else..what chance do I stand when the doctor tells me I've only got a week to live...
Sadness
lovesyou.

2. One day, I’ll be a great manga artist.
3. The longer the journal entries, the better my art becomes.

9. Critics are only critical because they are jealous of my stick figures.
