strange... these things never used to affect me much. but somehow perhaps it was the way father spoke ytd during mass. the suddenness of it all when he came in halfway. the way his voice cracked when he told us he was rushing to the hospital. i wonder if there was even time to perform last rites.
detached wonderings. *sardonic laughter* even in the face of such circumstances i can be introspective. truth is... there's a vague sense of despair at the fragility of life; a vague sadness for so much potential lost; a vague pity for parents who have lost a child. i feel there's smth wrong in writing a tribute to someone i don't know at all, or offer condolences to someone i've never met. it's like jumping onto the bandwagon. yet i feel warmed by the words of others who attempt to do these very things. deeply grateful to ppl who are doing what i'm not.
"But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you. " -Valerie's letter from V for Vendetta
