It's not like I even really knew you
I still want you to know that I care
Since I found out you had cancer
I'm sorry I couldn't be there
I know that it's hard and it's painful
It's a chore you now have to undertake
For your husband and daughters
It's a moment that will forever ache
It's not like I want to be so idle
I want to do something you you
And it's not like I'm being lazy
I just don't know what to do
It's not like I ever really knew you
But when I found out what's going on
It ripped at my heart and made me so sad
All I could think was "it's wrong"
If you dont have the strength to get through this
I know we'll all understand
You've been fighting so hard as it is
It would be rude for me to demand
But hang in there for your family ~ They love you unconditionally
Author notes
~One Moment~ I dont really even know this woman, she's my friend's mum, but in one moment she broke my heart when i found out what the cancer is doing to her... It's strange how even if you don't know someone well, you can still be effected by their circumstances

Wow. I really relate to this. And yeah, it's funny how people, that we don't even know that well, can effect us, just like your friend's mum did. I really like how you so beautifully wrote out this message. Very well written!
