Thanks Chris. You may be right about Andy not wanting to talk about cancer.
The first time he wrote to me, he referenced a comment I had made (that I
was about more than just cancer) and how he felt the same way but that
others often seemed to forget it. In Andy's case, I guess I can see how they
might. I'm glad if our talks gave him some comfort but I still wish I could
have given more. Oh well, I guess we all feel that way sometimes.
Your friend,
Bridget
