Good News in Twos!

[leftyjew]

First, I found out my brother doesn't have a chronic illness, and then a good friend responded to an email I sent after two years of no communication. This second part makes me:

1. very happy to know that they're alive and well


2. very happy to know that they're still themself


3. very happy to know that they're MARRIED


4. very comforted to know that the big things (character, family, friends) are not so different from what they were two years ago


5. very comforted to know that many small things (situation) are not so similar to what they were two years ago


6. in all, very glad that I wrote the email in the first place that I thought would end up in the trash

EDIT: This used to say a terminal illness. What I meant was a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_%28medicine%29">chronic illness. Also, there is less response to this because I wasn't going to post anything about it at all. Last night, I tried posting the second part alone, but my internet connection didn't like it. When I posted today, I realized there was other news that I was even more thankful for and probably deserved some mention.

woah-- glad about both, but mostly about the first. not that I'd known it was a possibility, but glad to hear it's not.

changed to the less-severe and more-accurate "chronic"
