A note, an offering, a test of faith
 

A forum for this doesn't really exist, so I guess I can just wing it, and
put it here - I joke around a lot on here, I'm not very serious often or
really put myself out there. I guess it's just sort of that time, you know?
I guess I should probably preface this by saying that it's not that bad, it's
less awful than it sounds (but still pretty rough to go through).

For a while, i've been hiding something from you guys, something big.
Only a few of my friends know, and my parents, my boss at work, and
obviously my doctor. I've been diagnosed with a relatively rare, progressive
lung condition. It can be combated, but the treatments are aggressive and
sound somewhat awkward to go through.

Do I really want sympathy? Not really - I loath that kind of trashy, selfish
outreaching that goes on here in GCLand. I guess, more than anything, it's
usually more my style to be open, candid, and blunt. LOL, most know that I
can barely keep my mouth shut for thirty seconds. I guess that I just want to
have this opportunity to invite you all to be close to family. Love them. Try to
enrich your lives now, because you might never have the chance before that
something serious comes along unexpectedly.

Way to post this on April Fool's Day so I have no clue whether or not you're kidding, buddy.

Either way, I agree wholeheartedly with this: "I guess that I just want to have this opportunity to invite you all to be close to family. Love them. Try to enrich your lives now, because you might never have the chance before that something serious comes along unexpectedly." I know some people who are going through similar stuff right now and it's been an eyeopener, to say the least.

And you know who to talk to if you ever do want sympathy.

Wanna make out?

If you're serious...my thoughts and prayers are with you, and you know where to find me if you need to talk.

If you're kidding, this is the best April Fool's post today, and you win.

PS: I google image-searched for i hate you rob and it gave me this:

I THINK IT'S FITTING.

ditto...ditto if you need a friend, just call me.

if it's a joke, it's a good one.

Gee, Rob. I’m very sorry to hear it. You have always been one of my favorites
even though you can be harsh at times. I hope that you will consider going
through the treatments that you mentioned.

But even if you are unwilling to go through treatment, please keep all of your
e-friends abreast of your situation. You’re a good guy and even though I’m
not religious, I will keep you and your family and friends in my thoughts.
Take care.

Why, it appears that you are being sarcastic. In fact, when I view only the first letters of each line,
it seems as if you've told me to "GET BENT" - surely that couldn't be intentional? Who would do such a thing?

Dude, Lil Hannah is mean.
I hope you know that
everyone does not feel like she does.




Garth! That was a haiku!


At any rate, I hope you know we're gonna do it before you die.

Just one more reason I have a semi girly crush on Lil' Hannah. If I could drink right now, I'd totally pound one with you.

Beers, that is.

Sometimes, God gives us these problems.
Maybe He's seeing if we're strong enough to conquer them?
Always keep faith and
remember to stay strong inspite of these obstacles and
try to stay happy.

As always, your friends here at Greekchat will stay by your
side because, after all, we're all about giving
sympathy to those who need it like yourself.

I hope this isn't some April 1st joke where you're going to come back and say, "April Fools Douches" or something like that.....

Please know that all of us here at GreekChat lend you our
unconditional support during this rough time. We know you
need support right now and we thank you for sharing with us. Do
keep us informed on how you are progressing.


Love,

.....Kelly :)

Well, now I don't know whether to laugh or cry! There are some clever people around here.
(no, I didn't spell out anything - I'm too tired to think that much)

Damn I really feel
overwhelmed by sadness. I
urge you to
continue with your treatments in the
hope that you will make an
excellent recovery
because you
are a very special
guy.

Writing this took too much time out of my life. ;)

Rob,

If you're being serious then I have this to say: I sincerely hope everything gets better with you and I hope that whatever treatment you go through is successful. Besides you have to stay healthy so we can have babies you know? :D ;)

And if this is an April Fool's joke then I hate you for being so mean. :)
