Death doesn't care what it looks like.

Very true. Thanks for stopping by!

Dear K,

Chock full of sadness that cuts right to the core. First year’s the worst. A surreal situation you’ve captured brilliantly. The only way is through, feeling/thinking whatever needs to be felt and thunk. Love and hugs.

Thank you H for the love, and sorry for my slow response. Days keep flying by.

So very profound K...

Impacted me deeply...

Thanks for reading. I'm glad it touched you.

Wow.  Okay no, again, wow.

This is a bullseye for me currently, actually.  My tough as hell sister is going through vigorous treatments for her cancer, for a few months now.  And me, being the dark humored brother, give her my warped sense of "it'll be alright" like I always have.  
She was basically my mother and best friend, in the absence of the actual, growing up.
And now I'm the big brother, holding her up best I can while everyone else cries and carries on.  I KNOW she will make it.  It's a bump in the road.  And that's how I treat it.
There is no other way to think.  And she loves me for it.  
Sorry, you don't need all that.  But letting you know I appreciate your poem.

It's written very well and has a hell of an impact.  Awesome write K.

Thanks so much for stopping by to read & express your thoughts. Sending all the good vibes I can muster for your sister. It will be ok no matter how things turn out.

Hey, man…jeez. I had no idea. You’re already my friend but just to make sure you understand, am here for you if needed. And likewise even if I’m not.

One foot in front of the other. Trudge.

Lotta irony
Very dry humor

Thank you, dear Poet. Humor cuts through the dark.

I didn't know whether it was OK to 'like' this, but I guess that's part of the point. Is it OK to laugh at a time like that? Well, yes... because it's funny in a perverse kind of way. It helps to have a black sense of humour sometimes. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thanks Ellie, for your support and for "getting" it. We can't control what strikes us as funny... especially when we're stuck in a surreal moment.

💖 Occasionally in this life we crash into the absurdity of everything and somehow, I have found, the most absurd thing is that everything just keeps going ad nauseum

Yeah, that makes me pretty damn mad some days. Why hasn't the rest of the world stopped?! Thanks so much for stopping by to read & understand. It's much appreciated.

Thank you for reading & commenting.
I read your "vow to self" and I think you'll understand if I can't come up with anything else to say about this. Your presence is appreciated.
