I learned this morning that one of my oldest* friends has cancer, and his prognosis doesn't look very good.
It makes all the drivel of this blog seem pretty shallow. I want so much to DO something - improve his place so it's more comfortable for him; invent a successful treatment for cancer; make a time machine so we can go back and do some things differently.
But that's not the reality. I don't know what to do. I just feel so, so sad.
*it's not he who is old, but our friendship. He's in his mid-40s.
