Just want to vent. He ask me for my advices on everything, and he doesn't listen to any of them. He tells me all sorts of gross, depressing stuff I don't really want to know about. He does all sorts of things that wreck havoc in the family, yet we must put up with him and pretend to listen, because he's got cancer and will die. Arrrrggh!

Why can't people try to be nicer when they have limited amount of time? I suppose he's never been nice or not weird, but why not try a little now? If I know I'm dying I'll try to be nice to everybody instead of giving them a difficult time.

Heh. I don't know.

If I knew I was dying I would probably start being bluntly honest. I just wouldn't feel I had the time and energy to BS people, just say it like it is.

He's dying. I'd go nuts too.

I'd also be nicer to everybody if I was in the same boat. I want to be laying in my death bed knowing that I was nice to the people that I care about.
