I’m going to help you whether you want it or not

I got to see an old friend yesterday, she lives far away and I haven’t seen her in years.

We had a great time catching up, and, then I realized the reason for her visit. Her father is ill, they don’t know what’s wrong, and, it doesn’t sound too good. With a small child at home, she is just beginning this familiar (to me) journey of the unknown. Her father and my mother were friends, too.

Somewhere along the line, when my mother was so sick, I was trying to find something good about it all, and, I told myself that I would remember everything, and, I would be there to help someone else through it when it was their turn.

So, it’s my friend’s turn. Now, I just gotta convince her that she wants my help
