It was something my long time friend said to me yesterday as I cancelled our meeting. He said, we dont have to have a meeting in order to hang out together. If its stressing you out we can cancel it. Then he was like, sometimes we can just be friends and hang out together and if you are having issues with this I can go with you and help you find something for your father's birthday. I just want to see you and spend time with you. I love you man!"
Those were his words. He is a very happy kinda guy so he could just be being nice?
