sit and think for awhile

here i am.

its a beautiful night

nice and warm with rain on the way.

i plan to eat mushrooms and walk around until they wear off.

so this evening my father told me my uncle heard bad news from his doctor.
i was thinking something along the lines of "the tumor came back, have to get a transplant... etc." except what he said was that a vein in his liver turned out to be not as clean as he had thought, theres nothing they can do, and he has as little as 2 months to live. if hes lucky he'll get a year.

the news wasnt as shocking as the way my dad was so non-chalante about it. right after saying this to me, he makes a comment about the baseball game we were watching.
i dont get it.
is it possible he really doesnt care that much? does he think the doctor was wrong about the seriousness of my uncle's situation?

i cant imagine how i'd feel if i just found out my brother will die within the next year, maybe as soon as two months.

and i really cant imagine what its like to be in my uncles position.

what would i do with two months to live?

i think maybe i'd start by taking mushrooms, walking around feeling the wind and looking at trees.

love
