We are all mortal.

I know the older I get, I will be dealing with the deaths of people I care about deeply. It is so difficult to say goodbye and forge ahead. Grief is weird. You're supposed to move on after a "reasonable" time, but that is such a relative idea. I miss my mom and dad every day. I think about my brothers, my grandma, other relatives and friends as well. I have three dear friends, currently, who are coping with cancer. It overwhelms and saddens me, and I feel helpless, because they live far away from me. I pray for them, of course. I want for them a cure, a miracle, another chance. I hope they will get that.
