this weekend wasn't quite the relaxing one i had in mind last wednesday. it seems like this spectre of pain and loss has been passing by my life as of late. i can handle it, but it breaks my heart a thousand times over to see people i love and care for in so much pain.
my oldest friend - first grade buddies- lost her father. it was so untimely and senseless.

he was only 50, the same age as my mom and 3 years younger than my dad. it's so frightening, pulmonary embolisms are silent. i spent most of my weekend sorting through my nana's things, and showing my support to chinyere and her family at home and at the wake. at least with my nana we were looking at her paintings, drawings and family pictures, things that gave her life purpose.
it was hard to come back to school, with chinyere hurting so much. i don't think i've gotten over how surreal it is. the ezies are such an accomplished, loving family. it breaks my heart.
addendum: hunter s. thompson committed suicide, shot himself in the head. the world loses another invaluable citizen.
