I am sorry to hear about your relative's diagnosis but glad the prognosis is good

I have been told my closest friend that certain things need to be said face to face - the reason she tell me that is I tend to do unpleasant things (like breaking up) over text - not cool I know but there are two reasons for that and the first is I am more articulate/less emotional over text and secondly I don't like to face the ensuing drama - so texting seems like a safer bet....
