She was going to die within the week. I mean aren’t we all going to die? But it’s strange that the image I have of myself as a child with her has somewhat been amalgamated. If she had aged does this not mean I am aging as well? For this woman who I’ve felt no profound affinity towards.

Should I be annoyed at the inconvenience of going to the white stained buildings when there was little I could provide in assistance? Your pain will end soon - I try to console but there is little I can offer. What do you say to someone when they’re going to die?

There’s this anticipatory grief which hangs low in our throat and fills our stomach with rocks. It’s not quite apologetic, sometimes pitying and a little disappointing. In the dying stage there’s all this anticipation in freeing ourselves, afraid to linger in this greater sense of grief and death and what it all means- we grieve more with the dying than the dead and are forced to confront ourselves with the idea of it.

When the sheets are pulled back over her head and consolations are offered the grief will disperse - they’ll learn not much has changed that when we turn off the news we’re not confronted with the carcass of bodies littering the media, and that we no longer have to worry about death until it arrives for us.

Then we’ll simply all go back to our lives like little sheep and we won’t stir much - try not to because there is little we can do, and only bleat when it’s our turn for the stunning and bludgeoning.

The first time Grandpa ever met her, she opened the door with her cat behind her + the first thing he said was “I hate cats.” How it worked out after that I’ll never know but clearly there was something there 💖💖💖 #GoodbyeGrandma #MissYou https://www.instagram.com/p/CBomWGZgQy_/?igshid=yvps10kz0p8r

PNB’s last day of Nutcracker and I’m reminded of the beautiful little souls that surround us during this crazy month. Barely anyone anyone asked for pointe shoes this year because of my injury, but I still received some sweet letters 😊 If only someone would’ve wanted my granny shoes haha, I would have gladly given them away! Anyway, I had to share this because she thinks I’d be great in dewdrop hahah...♥️ The CUTEST! Hopefully I’ll get a shot at it next year🤞🏽😉 Thank you, Liba ♥️ #nutcracker2018 #out #kbye #goodbyegrandma 👋🏽👵🏼 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br7wN7vAejN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eo5kzh9b4av0
