Cancer doesn't make someone a better person or absolve past sins. There has to be somewhere where you can say that this has been hard and this is the place.
One of my favorite Onion articles ever was about a dude who simply refused to be ennobled by cancer.
Oh, Burrell, I'm so sorry. {{hugs}}
Oh, damn. Burrell, it's ok. It's ok to complain, it's ok to hurt, it's ok to be tired, it's ok to be conflicted, it's ok to be goddamned mad, it's just ok. OK?
Happy Belated Birthday Burrell and Calli.
Burrell, I am so sorry about how rough it's been lately. Please keep venting here when you need to.

Ginger is right.
Although given her phrasing, I now have a Talking Heads song running through my head.
That sentence did wander astray.

Which morphed into You Can Call Me Al running through my head...
Hang in there, Burrell. This sucks. It's ok to say so.
Ginger! It was not a comment on your phrasing!
But "This Must be the Place" calls to me.
Thanks. I feel like I do nothing but vent these days. Well, vent and grade and occasionally change wound dressings.
Oh wait, need to count a few blessings: 1) kids have been very affectionate and snuggly, 2) best husband on Earth.
