Lost someone you loved?
....this summer was so bizarre. i absolutely did-- and do-- love casey, but we haven't spoken in a couple years. at first i felt like i wasn't allowed to grieve... like i had no right to feel grief when her best friends and her family were going through something i couldn't even imagine. i still don't understand how or why it happened, but the amazing strength displayed by everyone who knew casey and the inspiration she imparted have been a comfort over the past 5 months. i still think about her every day, and i wish we'd still have the chance to catch up over coffee.

oh, of course. i can't even count them all.

no, i'm not in the business of second-guessing. even peeing in lake placida.... even breaking my ankle i don't wish i could take back.
