Today we've got a rare exception amongst Chris's usual posting material: a surprisingly sweet mention to Barb. I'm being totally true and honest here when I say that my heartstrings have been tugged.
I'm really feeling conflicted over this.... :?
I would never say anything rude or hurtful about someone who survived something as traumatic as breast cancer. It's a lot for anyone to go through, and can turn individual lives and families upside-down.
On the other hand, the part of me that knows a little bit about Chris, can't help but be suspicious. Considering Chris's propensity for sharing deeply personal/private information, why didn't he mention this before? We've heard about Barb's colitis; he 'holey buttocks', you'd think Chris would have mentioned something about a condition as serious as breast cancer.
If this is a genuinely sweet, thoughtful gesture, then, for what it's worth, Chris has moved up a bit in my estimation/opinion of him. If, however, this is some cynical ploy by Chris, to garner sympathy, attention, ass-pats; or to make him seem like a better, more noble person, then my estimation/opinion of him has just hit a new all-time low.
I'm really interested in hearing our resident Christorian's take on this.
