I am so sorry Kate. My condolences to Mark and his family.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

It's supposed to hit triple digits in NYC tomorrow. Really not looking forward to getting home to my no-central-AC apartment.
Kate, I'm so sorry for both you and Mark.

Oh well fuck. Just got an email from my mom. My aunt, dad's sister, was admitted to the hospital and her ovarian cancer has spread to her entire system. She doesn't have a lot of time.
I'm not really sure how to process this. I haven't seen her in a number of years, but she was my cool aunt when I was little and she's a neat person. She and Dad were never good about keeping in touch. I was under the impression that she'd been in remission for a while, and the biggest worry was her heart, which she had surgery on a couple years back. I .... I don't know if I should go up there, or just send a card, or even if a call would be in order. Or if she can even take calls. Because my father doesn't ask these questions.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm really sorry, sarameg.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh no, I'm sorry, sarameg.

Oh crap, sarameg. I'm sorry. My condolences to Mark and his family.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Sara. I think a call is not a bad idea -- if she can't take it, she can still know you called.

Yeah, I have to get the number. It's kinda sad that I've lived on the same coast with her for the past 13 years, and I don't have her number (I used to, spent thanksgiving with her when I'd first moved up here, but it's long lost.)

I'm so sorry, sarameg. If you want to call her, go ahead. Even if she can't talk, or talk for very long, I'm sure she would appreciate it.
