Airports are microsystems of life. There are mailboxes and banks and stores and ATMs and Starbuck's and chapels.For the first time, I stopped in a chapel, hoping to find a moment of peace. My friend Anita had undergone a mastectomy this week for a stage 3 breast tumor found in a routine mammogram. Her sweet husband Dick was diagnosed with a brain tumor 3 years ago and has now put off his latest surgery to be there for her. I needed to think healing thoughts for both of them and this seemed like the place to do that.
Little did I know that I was needing to include my friend, G, in those thoughts too.
Tomorrow, in respect for her living will, her two sisters will remove her life support systems and let nature take her course. There is nothing else to do in this situation but my gawd this hurts.
I was just with her. And we were going to be together again in May. And now there isn't any hope for that to happen.
No hope.
I hate this, really.
