This whole time since the announcement, I'd just been numb. I read Goodbye Eri tonight on a whim and it motivated me to begin my letter to her. As I started trying to put things into words though, some block in me got removed and I started crying. I'm still crying now.
I haven't felt this way about a graduation in a long time, and this goodbye feels so much more permanent. I know she's probably not really dying from whatever her throat affliction is, and I hate to even entertain such a stupid thought, but the time left just feels so ephemeral that I can't stop picturing that end for her.
I hope you guys are handling this better than I am, and if you're not, I hope you have people in your life to talk to about these things.
