You ever have a dear friend out in the world that was hurting? Not just hurting, but being pounded by bone crushing sorrow?

Do you know what it's like writing email after email, but just deleting it because it sounds so useless and ridiculous?

I used to think I had a way with words. Well, okay, not really a way, but that I could adequately express my emotions in a textual context. Nah.. I can't, I've got nothing. What could anyone say?

I just hate that she's out there hurting. I can�t stand it, I want it to be okay. But it's not.

Sigh... I love you, dear Blaise. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's not right.

So yeah, if anyone still actually reads this thing, go offer her a kind word. In the end, it's all we have.
