No, I wasnt upset about that. I was agreeing with your assessment of the situation. Lucky kid looks down on peer who got dealt a tougher hand in life. Not funny.
Indeed be kind to your fellow man, you never know what life has presented to them, a great story and lesson Jimmy, I'm blessed to have you as a friend.
That’s a rough voice he has in his head, no merci, no one thinks it funny, do they? He certainly doesn’t.
You present what it was, what it is, and then bookend the heart of it here.
Loss of blood means loss of oxygen, a heart attack and stroke for Mindy. She wouldn’t think the irony is funny either.

What a great feeling!
Whatever is needed, is deserved.
Perspective is needed. Not that sporadic kind we get with a national tragedy, but consistent, operational perspective
So loaded. Really great.
Thanks. Great catharsis to write this one
Wowsa. This hits hard.
Thanks. It hit me hard

That's the theme. Be kind. Think. Judge not.
Powerful writing, Jimmy.
Thanks Luke. Felt good to pound the keyboard with this one
