farewell, my friend

one of my wise people passed away this morning.

yes, without some sort of divine intervention, we knew it was coming. no, i didn't think it would be today. and it's totally jacking with my faith in that how-much-does-one-family-have-to-take kind of way.

i know this doesn't mean that God has disappeared from the scene altogether, but it kinda seems like it. and i'm not in the mood for a "she's better off" lecture at the moment. maybe i'll post later about the huge hole that's left in our hearts.

right now, all i can think about is Kate Campbell's song, How Much Can One Heart Hold?
