I am moving very soon

I talked to the building manager and he said the apt would be ready in a few days. I am SO looking forward to moving and creating my own space with the boys where angry outbursts are absolutely forbidden.

One of my friends who has cancer called me yesterday and said, "My body is riddled with cancer. My doctor keeps increasing my dose of morphine." That conversation put me into a very dark place - am I ever going to have to say those words? And her children don't even know what's wrong with her . . . perhaps they are under the impression that she will recover from her as-yet-unnamed illness? The whole situation is so very sad . . . and when she's gone I will miss her.

Deep sigh. This weekend one of my dearest friends is getting married. I will be picking her parents up at the airport later today. I have to keep my head up and my smile on my face, this weekend is no time to be feeling bad about anything.
