- Go to Wiley and Kabu and some thoughts.
Kabu -Wiley looks great! You do take wonderful care of him.
What you say it so true. People do get uncomfortable when someone is ill. I was brought up learning an axiom like that; how when one is young and strong (and has money), everyone is, or wants to be your friend, but if one is old and ill, then they all disappear. Who are left are the true friends and family. I noticed that as my mother's illness progressed, more and more people came around less and less. You have your home and yard and friends, here and elsewhere, sweet lady.

Yes well, I know the feeling,basically most folk do not like to feel uncomfortable. It is ridiculous really, Nature is cruel in a way put a brown hen in with a flock of white ones and see what happens. Wiley is no different, he just cannot function in the way we once knew him, with his jokes and revelations. He is still someone who needs love and extra care, I just hope that you can gain a little comfort through this mediim.

You do find out who your true friends are during times of need. Sadly, we often don't find out our true friends when things are going well.

Your friend's seeming distance may have nothing to do with your life, might be her own stuff happening when you happened to call.
Wiley looks so dashing in his hat!

Good photo. People are so different from each other. Some like to spend time on the phone and others never make calls. Personally, I'd rather email back and forth or visit face to face (my home, your home, or over coffee at a cafe). I grew up in a home with one phone, and it was a four-party party line. We were discouraged from keeping the phone tied up and to not make calls unless it was absolutely necessary. It kind of stuck with me even though it is so different now.

Sometimes when we know one partner is a bit unwell and the other is
struggling to keep things going, it's hard to know what to say that will bring a bit of comfort and empathy without getting 'know-it-all' or overly solicitous. Hugs to you both. Nice pic. of Wiley today.
