I think I need more patience.
My best friend whom I care about deeply is very sick (and has been for a while). Unfortunately due to his illness and somewhat due to his nature he has been behaving in an unstable manner for quite sometime, sweet one moment, awful the next. I try to shrug off the pain caused by his words and actions. I try to do things carefully to keep from irritating him, but it seems like its becoming less and less possible. We’re both so busy I find myself distracted often, and that irritates him most, but I don’t want to tell him I’m busy because I want to spend as much time with him as possible. It’s a long distance thing, so I often feel helpless, as if there is nothing I can do for him, and that is so hard for me to accept. I am at the end of my rope, tonight he said he would never talk to me again. He has said this at least a half-dozen times before, but every time I fear that this time it’s true. He is my best friend, my only real friend. Last time this happened he said I deserved better and he would try to be a better friend. Yet here we are again.
