You are a good friend who showed and shared genuine and justified concern when you learned about my diagnosis with the latest death funk unleashed on the world by Chairman Mao’s cult of fruit bat assassins. Others were thankful and wished me good health. I thank them from the bottom of my heart, but chose to be embarrassed by the attention, leading to jerky behavior that embarrassed you.
I am sorry that my behavior hurt you. I never wish to hurt you, especially because I consider you one of my closest friends. Please forgive me.
