A friend of the family died this last week. I'd seen them in Toronto briefly just after Cat and I got married, but hadn't really been in touch with them. She died from CF. Mom and I might go to Toronto for the funeral, and to say hi to her husband, I don't know.
As usual, I'm trying to deal with death by not dealing with it. It took me a few days to get the drive to write a sympathy e-mail to Kel, but I just can't think about this too much. I've a very strong aversion to the entire thing, and it is very hard for me to cope in any way.
These were friends of my mom's when we lived in Calgary. They moved to Toronto before we moved to Ottawa, but mom had kept in touch with them often over the years. Things sort of faded once the internet was born -- mom almost never heard from her friend Allison, but once in a while something would come through.
I just don't know...
