I just don’t know what to say. I have a friend who’s daughter was born with CP. I just don’t know if I’m that strong.

Yep, it takes a special kind. God gives them the grace, patience, love to deal with what's on their plate.
Sometimes when I think that my life has been hard, I look at people with the truly hard problems in life.

Man, and to top it off, my friend's wife died last year and now he is on his own to care for the wheelchair bound 20 year old daughter. He’s a tough dude for sure.

Crap. Ya'll need to gofundme that guy, get some friends to take a shift, bring the man out for drinks, don't let dude go it alone.
We guys don't vocalize our struggles to the level females do, but it sure as hell doesn't mean we can't stand in the gap when the chips are down.
Glad you're a friend letting it said that your friend has your respect.

I actually don’t see him very often at all. He’s an old supervisor boss of mine from like 20 years ago. I have another friend who is closer to him and keeps me in the loop. I do have a lot of love for the guy, one of the better people I know. Makes me think that I should reach out. ✌️

All the more impressive that he was a boss.
He resisted the urge to be a dick and "kick the dog" metaphorically as people can do when they imagine their life sucks.
Some people get it. Meekness.

Yep. I’m reaching out to him right now. Via email to a buddy, it’s the best I can do. Thank you.✌️

Not a problem, glory to God if anything there helped in some way. Happy Passover

What does CP stand for?

Now that I think about it, probably cerebral palsy.
