Do you tell everything to your partner? Or are you like me: when you have a bad day but your partner shows up all happy, do you join in his happiness? Or do you spoil the mood with the bad things that happened in your day?
You would say: "gosh, it all depends actually"…
That’s why I would be quite interested in "What kind of man would lie to his own wife about having cancer?". The author of this question will be one of the guests of the free reading series organized tomorrow November 28 at :
Happy Ending Bar
302 Broome Street between Forsyth and Eldridge, 212-334-9676
Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 pm sharply!
Did father lie about his cancer?
After father passed away due to metastatic liver cancer, mom recalled and told us of one night about 2 years before father died father had the "something is on my mind" expression. When mom asked him what was wrong, father told her: "I cannot tell you". On which mother asked: "since when can’t you tell me things anymore"…
My old neighbour: did he lie about his cancer?
My old neighbour nor his wife were that close to me to answer that question. I never saw his wife acting any differently than just the last few days when my neighbour was in hospital in his last days of fighting lung cancer.
3 months before my neighbour died of lung cancer, he "suddenly" stopped smoking. Around that time he taught his wife how to use the grass mower "just in case I wouldn’t be around one day"…
Who do you tell you have cancer and who should tell you that you have cancer? The answers look easy, but one day when you are confronted with cancer, there are choices to be made you never thought they could be that difficult…
What had my neighbour and father in common?
Father died of metastatic liver cancer.
My neighbour died of lung cancer.
Both were very cheerful people, making sure they could help out anybody they knew and they couldn’t be bothered to trouble others with their problems. They didn’t seem to have any enemies, loved by everybody and no problem was big enough to stop them.
