I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm so sorry, Maria. I don't know what to say.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nothing. That I can guarantee you. All kinds of shit -- good and bad -- happens to people who don't deserve it.

Nothing at all. Shit just happens.

And yeah, hope can be a nasty bitch. But it is still there. Just requires recalibrating your frame of reference, but takes time to mourn the previous expectations. Let yourself, and him, do that. And you know what? It's ok to fall apart for a while.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Absolutely, Ginger. I cannot have the abyss looking into me without help. He's in the anger stage right now, and I don't know where he's really at. It's been a lot of talk that an early death is a foregone conclusion, and I can't counter that right now.

I can't fall apart now. I have a new job to keep. I won't even be able to go with him to the doctor's appointment on Monday. I'm making my sister come down, because his parents can't even go. His father has his own doctor's appointment.

Because books.

Oh, Maria, that's so hard. I think you might just have to let him be angry for a while.

Please PLEASE let us know what we can do to help.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh Maria, I am so very very sorry, and what everyone else said, especially the fuck cancer, and that he and you did absolutely nothing to deserve this.

It's Friday night, you can definitely fall apart now. As long as you can pull it back together enough in 48 hours. I can't imagine just holding it in indefinitely will work.

Oh, friend. I just don't even know.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Maria. I just caught up. I'm so sorry, and it's so brutally fucking unjust.

Aw fuck Maria. That's awful. I wish I had magic powers.
