A sad piece indeed. If this is about our mutual friend on site, then I can only hope this 'disease' is a metaphor for depression and nothing more serious...mind you, depression is often fairly serious itself.

All the best to you and yours, Phil.

Phil, there are times to speak in metaphors and similes, but this poem speaks as it is. Life is cruel, but the human factor cannot be underestimated. We have the will to force the hand of fate and forge a new destiny. Supporting one another, especially siblings is a cause worth fighting for - worth loving for.

Thinking of you both ((hugs))

Phil, I really liked this a lot. It's sad but warming because it's your sister and you would do anything for her including taking away her pain. Hugs to you both-

Seriously, stop being daft. I will survive and don't plan on going anywhere yet anyway
