please, please go away.
Ok, pain haiku doesn’t work well. But darn, it’s still hurting. So back to the oral surgeon to figure out what the heck is causing the pain. I swear, I’ve been in that office more than I ever planned on. They don’t give me nitrous each time either - which would at least make the trip worthwhile.
It’s been super beautiful outside for the past few days, but today is gloom filled and icky. The warm sun has hidden itself, and it feels like a death day. Perhaps that’s because I know there’s someone dying, 30 miles away, that I should be prepared to morn but I’m not.

So sorry about your dental issues, Tori.
As to mourning? Well, I don’t know that any of us are ever fully prepared to mourn. And I’m also not sure we ever quite stop mourning, but simply accept that we have a sad place in us that never quite goes away since we are left to continue with our lives. I knew my dad was likely to die at any moment several years before he *poofed* in an instant while eating an apple while watching TV in his underwear after work one day, but it still shook me as much as it freed me.
Be well, friend. You are much loved, you are.
