My Poor Baby

I am so tired constantly.
I awake and go to sleep always feeling very sickly,
and yet I know there is absolutely nothing wrong with me.
My best friend Samara is feeling very poorly,
no doubt from her massive doses of chemotherapy.
I think I'm feeling her pain out of sympathy.
I feel so helpless. My poor baby.

Watching others suffer is hardest thing, and when its someone you love it tears right into your heart! God bless you and Samara!

I hope and pray her treatment is successful - and you get relief too Billy - it is so so tough watching someone you love go through cancer treatment - been there myself - even though my hubby didn't have chemo I suffered with him too:-( hugs jan xx My thoughts and prayers are with you:-)
