I want to send you a message, something along the lines of: i saw your post, i dunno if it has anything to do with what's happening to your dad right now, but if it does, i'm just here, in case there's no one else left to listen to you. I'll just be here. Even just for verbal/written stress relief.

But something in my head is ringing a lot of alarm bells, telling me not to do it, not to send the message, because you're not someone he would be comfortable talking with, and it would only end up looking so desperate.

So i'm not sending the message. I'm just putting it here. If you ever read this, you know what to do. If you don't, well, the post stays, as a reminder of what kind of person i am at this moment.
