It is love not reason that is stronger than death

I'm sure my friends all think I'm being insensitive with JayLynn because I didn't hang on her every word, because I didn't hug her, and because when she said 'I'm not dead... yet... hopefully'  I didn't react. I'm not trying to be insensitive though, I'm just used to this. She doesn't even know how bad her tumor is, so she could be perfectly ok, but we don't know yet. The thing is, Mike knows he is going to die, and I know that too. So I watched him go through this phase and I did the whole hug and cry thing. And I can't go back to that phase for her, because now I'm in the grateful and laugh stage. Where every second with him is a blessed one, and we can laugh again. We don't have to say cancer in hushed tones or avoid the subject of death. It's ok. And it's ok to be happy with him and to make jokes about it. Because in this part, the last thing he wants is for us to hover around him crying and constantly trying to hug him. He wants normality. I don't know what the next phase is going to be and we'll get there when we get there, but for now here we are. So I hope they understand why I'm not reacting the same as them, and it's not insensitivity, it's accustomed to it.
