it's certainly scary how I can veer from exhilarated to maudlin in a couple of days. Nothing to quite explain the shift.

And what do you do when someone tells you they are dying, to be gone within the year and there is nothing left to say. That has been the hallmark of today, I simply have nothing left to say. And no one to say it to.
