When shit gets real.
I would suspect that the vast majority of us simply pays and plays with our companions in C.R. The "smart monger" hits it and quits it, right? But sometimes, we allow these women to touch more than our genitals. Friendships form with time and repeated exposure to a given chica, real emotions form, and before we know it... we're enamored at most, or feel a strong sense of friendship and responsibility at least.
I have two friends among the working girls who right now are suffering terminal illnesses. For the sake of their privacy and dignity, I won't mention names. One was in remission from cervical cancer but now appears to again be suffering the cancer, despite apparently successful surgery and chemotherapy. The other discovered back in July that she has stage 3 colon cancer, and is now suffering through chemotherapy. Either or both might die within the year.
When the fantasy of uninvolved sex grows into something akin to love, we get drawn in. Suddenly, we realize that our playmates are living, breathing human beings. Sometimes, real human beings have real tragedies affect their lives. And it hurts.
I know that neither woman, BTW is lying to me about her condition. In the case of the first lady mentioned, I attended not one, but two meetings with her oncologist at Calderon Guardia hospital. I saw her (so to speak) with a body completely devoid of hair after her first round of chemo. In the case of the second...well, after losing both parents to cancer, I know damn well what it looks like. And no, she's not lying either; she's never asked me for material support, only my patient ear and loving arms.
I don't know if you are a praying man or not. But even if you don't believe in a God, nor pray... I still ask you to hold positive thoughts for both women, and for any woman in this ambiente (scene) who is suffering.
God willing, I'll be in Costa Rica February 6-16, 2020. If you see a blind guy with longish grey hair, that will be me. If we're not yet friends, please come up and introduce yourself. I always like to meet new CRT friends. During my visit, I am sure that I will be doing what I can to help both of my amigas. Life is a bitch sometimes.
