CRUSHES

Advice

My crush is super-sick

I have this crush on this SUPER cute guy. He’s in my grade, has a triple threat smile, hair, eyes combo and knows me pretty well. He plays the guitar and has been with me as a friend watching the fire works with and having a party on Christmas Eve.


The problem is, he’s been diagnosed with leukemia (blood cancer). I don’t get to see him a lot since he's sick and when we do (hopefully it’s a when not an if. He has a 87% chance of living) we have to wear masks. It’ll never be the same. Got any advice?

Hey Candace,

Try not to worry too much about how things will be different. Your guy needs all the support he can get right now, so try dropping off care packages for him or send him “thinking of you” notes. If you go to the same school, you could even get a new plain pillowcase or blanket and have all his friends write cheery messages on it with permanent marker. The thoughtful actions will surely brighten his day.


Right now, just focus on being the best friend you can be to him. When he does get out of the hospital, he’ll definitely remember how you stuck by him and cheered him up while he was sick. The experience might even bring you closer as friends.


Smile,
Andie
