a mental view or prospect.How things change in a day - in a night, even. I had in mind this whole indulgent post before leaving tomorrow for what just might be ages, but that really doesn't seem to matter too much anymore.
I wish I could be more of a support, be readier with the right words, be more of a comfort, to a dear friend going through something so colossal. But I don't. And tomorrow I will be gone, too, and fat help I will be, huh? Well, I guess sometimes all you can do is offer your best, condolences, and prayer. I'm sorry for your loss, friend. And I pray you'll pull through.
In other news, going to miss my kids very much. Especially after today when it felt like perhaps a sort of breakthrough with the dearest Tricia and Clara.. Shan't be seeing any of them for the next 3/4 weeks at least, I hope I won't be forgotten by the time I get back!
And because I have quite literally nothing to offer but words (bad ones, stupid ones, useless ones):
