That's a heavy burden to bear, but my guess is that he just knew that you would be supportive and non-judgemental. It's a burden, but also an honor. Doesn't make it any easier though, I know. Most of Brian's family doesn't know the path he is taking and only recently, has he even told them that he was sick.
I'm sorry that you have all of this on your plate, but you know where to find me if you ever need to vent. Yep, my plate's pretty frikkin' full haha, but I'd make room for you any day.
It has been a very interesting time leading to strange lines of thought. Reading conversations on the platform makes a surreal contrast. Makes me think a lot about what we say to whom and why. Sometimes much thought will go into that, other times words just seem to explode all over the place.
Thanks for sharing about Brian's family. His right to make his own decisions really does outweigh any qualms of guilt I may have.
You're the best. It is funny how this place can become far more than was ever expected going in.
