Well well well
0/10. At my work one of my coworkers has always been very, very kind, sweet and gentle to me. He is 36 and even though you can't tell by looking at him, his mindset is like a teenager. He always makes it pretty clear I'm the love of his life. Never even denied it. He is very upset about me having to leave the job because of the project ending. He always makes jokes like "I'm going to follow Nessa's car and see where she lives" or "I'm going to kidnap Vanessa and take her with me and my parents on a holiday." Last monday he didn't show up for work. He turned in sick. He looked already a bit sick the last couple of weeks even though his personality was as sweet and bubbly as ever. Today I received the news through a mutual friend/coworker he has been taken to Rotterdam, to the cancer clinic. He suffered from leukemia as a child from his 12th till his 17th. The leukemia has returned. They placed him in quarantaine. I'm so extremely upset about this news. I just wanna go to Rotterdam as soon as possible but right now I can't because nobody is allowed near him yet. God, please, don't let him die! I never ever have been treated with so much respect and love and kindness ever in my life by someone other than some family members. He gave me my confidence back in myself by taking me as I am and looked at the inside. And now he's very ill. How long is this going on with people in my life who are very close to me dying?!
*hugs*
I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this **** again. If you ever need to talk, we're all here for you. The best thing you can do is just continue to support him through this and perhaps find a way to visit him once he's out of quarantine. In the meantime, maybe everyone in the workplace can get together and all sign a nice greeting card for him? That'll sure make him feel as special as he made you.
Cancer ****ing sucks. I hope your friend pulls through.
