today i went to see an ancient (we go waaay back) friend who's dad passed away last night. of colon cancer. it was expected. the cancer was discovered last year. the tumor had been there for the last 12 years.
my best friend in 9th grade, we did some crazy things together. i was meeting her after four years and i didn't know what to expect. or how to whatever. but when i saw her, all of my doubts, my fears evaportated. we hugged. and it was just like the ol' times. nothing had changed. she was herself and i was me.
met up with people i'd met only once four years back and i was surprised they even remembered who i was (i didn't remember who most of them were!). met up with other old friends. a lot of indus valley people. stayed back and talked, hugged, almost cried, encouraged, caught up, and hugged more. friend currently feels numb and awkward with the way people are behaving around her. but she was alright. dealing with it well, at the moment. this is one of those situations when i dont know how to make things better for people. except by just being there.
it was an interesting day. lots of mixed feelings.
lots of... i dont know whats.

ouch @ friend
yes she'll feel numb with friends and people around her, but once everyone goes away, the missing will strike her :s I guess the best thing would be to see her regularly
hope everything becomes ok
