Shock and ‘awe fuck’

“I’ve gone from planning a wedding, to planning a funeral — it was just a cough…”

My friend took her fiance to the doctor for a cough recently that wouldn’t stop. They took xrays, and MRIs and they found the C….and kept looking…and kept finding. It came back metastisized spleen, testicles, brain, liver and lungs I think. It was spread all over..

I’d hoped life was done fucking with her…apparently not. I wish I were close enough to her to be able to follow behind and pick up the pieces as she drops them behind her…I imagine carrying a trowel with some sort of chocolate cement and spreading it on like bricks, trying to keep her together.

Like she’d even need me — strongest lady I know that one — but I wouldn’t mind being there to help if needed.
