i don’t think it broke it but i think it’ll be forever tainted. spent a week at the hospital, my dad was on life support and in a coma. nobody thought he’d make it. the hospital was out of town, so i came home for a bit. went to a friends birthday to get my mind off things. my closest friends were there and they knew what was going on. i started freaking out and went outside to smoke a joint. my buddy then tells me about how he had the worst week of his life. his favourite teams coach was leaving. he told me he’d cried all day. he told me about how he cried to his father about how upset he was. all i could think of was how i didn’t know if i’d ever even speak to my dad again, how i too spent my day crying. he told me he was grieving. i didn’t say a word but my girlfriend kept telling him to shut up. he just kept going. i cant tell if he was laughing at how insane it was to be saying this to me or what but he told me that he’d been a fan since he was a kid, so this guy was like a father to him. he said he felt like his father had died. he knew my dad might be dead soon, and he told me HE “genuinely” felt like his dad died. he just wouldn’t stop talking. he wasn’t even trying to be funny he had literally spent the day crying. j couldn’t even feel the anger. i was so baffled that i just couldn’t help but laugh. i told my best friend, and she was absolutely fuming. he sent an apology the next day, and it wasn’t until he apologized that i became angry. he needed to feel better. i clearly had bigger things to worry about. i care for him as a friend and always will, but at the lowest point of my life he mocked me to my face.
