A very good friend of mine and Dick's came over for lunch today, then took a nap on my couch, then I drove her back to the agency where she works one day a week now as a therapist. She had a mastectomy three months ago, has been having chemo every three weeks...all that scary stuff. I have been very involved, helping her with nausea by doing what we used to do years ago for fun, listening and talking a lot. (I'm not a therapist myself, but I've learned a lot reading Dick's writings and other literature around the house.)

The point here is that she mentioned that one of her clients has not said one word to her about what has been going on. Even though all appointments now have to be on Wednesdays, and even some of those had to be canceled when my friend was not feeling well. Even though she wears a scarf on her head, and even her eyebrows are gone. You know, my friend feels a little sad that this client has not even said, "I hope you are feeling better." Or, "I missed you." Or at least acknowledged her struggle in some small way. She doesn't have to, indeed shouldn't, feel she needs to bring chicken soup or anything like that...but a word or two to show you care is never out of line.
