However, since it has been a while. Let me just go ahead and reiterate my general disgust for my so-called "close friends". I don't really care if they read this or not.....
All of the time I hear, "If you need anything, let us know!" or "If there's anything I can do, let me know!".
Well, here's the deal: I don't EVER ask for anything. I don't ever take ANYONE up on their "offers". It's just not my thing.
I do, however, expect one thing. When it is Great Strides time.....when I start my fundraising push.....be supportive. That doesn't mean give me money.....that means like my status on FaceHell so that it stays at the top of the news feed for more people to see. Register and walk with me.....you don't have to pay anything, you don't even have to raise any money.....just show your face and walk with me......I mean, it would be nice if they chipped in to help raise some money.....
Why is it that when sh!t gets serious, everyone heads for the hills.......I live this f&^%ing bullsh!t and you just run at the mere mention of it? It's not worth two hours or even two seconds of your time? Really?
I have friends who have, who are, and who do, but it always seems that the ones who do the most are the least likely.....the last ones that I ever thought would jump in.....This is going to be one of our biggest years yet, and Im grateful for my new friends who are being so wonderful.....But it makes my head and my heart hurt....there are others who are supposed to be my close friends....the ones who you've had the emotional conversations with.....the ones who know your deep dark secrets (or at least one or two of them)....where are they?
Guess they aren't so close after all.

Sorry you are going through this Juli. Wish I could offer you more than words. Unfortunately, there are those who are takers and not givers. I know this is extremely important to you and they should be there to support you and all your efforts in the giving that you do.
