Sadness renders me silent

A friend of ours is sick. We've known about it for a while now. Almost nine months. It makes me sad almost every day.

It's hard for me to fathom how someone so full of life, so vibrant a human being, so loved by everyone he knows, could be suffering so.

We had a moment, a fraction of time where it seemed like he was going to beat the beast that is cancer. His tumors were shrinking, he was feeling better. As suddenly as his diagnosis, and remarkable improvement, he has taken a turn for the worse.

I want to blog about it, but I don't want to eulogize him. I want to do something, but what?
I pull up his blog everyday and worry that today will be the day, the day that through all of my optimism, and hope, the worst will be there in black and white.

I can't say anything to make it better - but, I'm sending you hugs. If you need to talk, I'm here.
