Just read it.

Few things I've ever read in my life have had as much of an emotional impact on me as this just has.

It makes me feel so awful for being someone who's just... getting by.

Where did you find this?

This line filled me especially: "One of the hadiths of the Prophet said that if the day of judgment came and you saw all the horrors coming, and imminent death approaching, and if you had a baby palm tree in your hand, you should still plant it."

What a story.

The link was passed to me by a friend of mine -- the lady in question is the sister of a friend of hers.

That line hit me hard too. Geekily, it reminded me of an exchange from the Angel series finale:

Gunn: "What if I told you it doesn't help? What would you do if you found out that none of it matters? That it's all controlled by forces more powerful and uncaring than we can conceive, and they will never let it get better down here. What would you do?"

Anne: "I'd get this truck packed before the new stuff gets here. Wanna give me a hand?"

Yeah, I make Buffyverse references in the face of tragedy. Hm.

[hohum]

Whatever works.

We oughta discuss that Buffy site soon.

Yes we oughta! Y'know, whenever you're on IM :-p
