This is so beautiful. I hate to get all technical on you about a post like this, but the way you construct a story is amazing. I feel privileged to get to read this – thanks for sharing it, and I’m sorry.

Thanks, Jonas and Zura. That post was one of the cathartic ones.

The thing is, you don’t know how you’ll live through it until the day you’re there, living through it. And somehow, you do, ’cause everybody does. It still sucks, though…

Gosh… I cannot imagine… Perhaps you can in some way say it into the aether and he’ll hear it. Beautifully written.

It’s a wonderful set of stories. Unless I go first, this is still in my future. HOW CAN PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH THIS, AGAIN AND AGAIN? I honestly didn’t think it would be that bad for that long, and even though it hasn’t happened to anyone close to me, I know it will, and it will be terrible. Terrible because there will be random moments of utter sadness and pain for any or no reason.

One of these days, I will ask my Columbian coworker how she dealt with the deaths of her father to alcoholism, and three (or four?) of her siblings to violence.
