Community awareness- Terminally ill friends are the same person they were when they were your healthy friend. The difference is just that the human vessel that carries your friend on this earth is no longer able to keep going. I encourage you to please support your friend by calling them on the phone, visiting them, telling them your every day news just as you would if they were not ill. I can tell you first hand that you won't regret it. Dedicated to my friend Margaret RIP 10/7/10
