When my mom was diagnosed with MS in 1991, my parents had 3 kids under the age of 10. My dad's work was very understanding, and would allow him to do such things as take a late lunch in order to get his kids at school because his wife was too sick to drive. They knew that my dad would bust his butt when he was at work because he was grateful for his office's understanding about his situation. It is 19 years later, and he still works for the same company. I went through a crisis last year when I was at my college reunion, and it amazed me that some close friends didn't even care that I was going through something horrible. However, I saw some people for the first time in 5 years, and they were absolutely amazing to me. I will never forget that, and I've stayed in touch with many of these amazing people. However, I've barely talked to the other friends because I can't understand why they weren't there for me when I needed them. Exactly right Phil.
