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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Where is he seeing docs? I don't mean to put her on the spot, but lisah's got resources at JHU, and they helped steer her & Bob with second opinions and all. When you are ready to deal with that.
If you do end up coming to B'more for any of this, please know you both can use me as a place to crash. My parents will be here for a week in late October, but even then, there are enough beds.

And if, for any reason, you find yourself wanting to come for second or third opinions or anything at UNC or Duke, you are more than welcome to stay in my guest room.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Damn it, {{{{{Maria}}}}}

I am so sorry, Maria. I wish I could do more than send you my love. If there's anything, let me know.
