What do you say?

So many upsetting things have happened these past few weeks that it's hard to smile. It started a few weeks ago when someone very special to me decided that they were the only person that mattered anymore. This person has deeked out of their responsibilities to family and basically announced they no longer feel it necessary to comminicate with them. Its hurtful to their entire family and I feel a bit caught in the middle as I am close to all involved and don't know what really happened to cause this, but feel a very strong need to make things better in anyway I can.
A friend of Franks who battled cancer for the past 5 years passed away yesterday. He was origionally given 5 months to live and beat the odds by hanging in for 5 more years. He was a special man and will be remembered fondly by all who hand the great pleasure of knowing him.
Amongst the usual trials and tribulations life throws at us, we have the day to day tasks that are usually calming and plesant, but these days, the silver lining on the cloud is pretty tarnished and I feel the need to break out the Braso!
Hope everyone is doing well!
