Keeping On

A student of mine came in for a conference today.  She looked like she had lost her best friend--which is unsurprising, since she did just that over the weekend.  He got carried off by a particularly aggressive cancer.  Too young, too young.

A friend stopped by yesterday and spoke with us for a while.  He's having an incredibly terrible time, has lost a bunch of weight (hmmmm, sounds familiar), and there's no end in sight.



I pick up the NYT today (mainly for gardening use, but I will glance at some pages), and see yet another picture of bombing victims. 

Sometimes, the best we can do is hang on for one more day.
