You make this tragedy sound unintentionally comedic. Dark, still, kinda humorous, how pathetic people can behave even with information that could save their lives. We are all a pretty pathetic bunch, although. Humanity that is. Have to let go and let events run their course I suppose...

you have no idea. we hired the guy to do some work on our house and 5 minutes after we signed the contract, the wife comes down with a terminal illness. i try to be patient and helpful- he knows he can call me anytime he needs to talk- but at a certain point i'd like to get my project finished before i die!

i have no idea how they are surviving. she certainly isn't working and he's too distracted to work much. he said to me once "she's going to die and i'll be alone, broke and unemployable."

it's really sad because they are both highly skilled people. she's a trump l'oeil artist and he's a master marine carpenter but really, it is a dark comedy at this point- nothing unintentional about it.
