Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts today.

I've never gotten used to the dying part. It's not any easier, I think I'm just more pragmatic about it than I used to be. I accept it better, it's less of a shock to the system than it was once upon a time. But if I ever got used to it, I'd worry.

It hurts a little every time. It churns up emotions that I don't cope with well, and fears that I like to confront even less.

I don't ever want to get used to it, and I don't think I ever will. But I would like it to hurt a bit less.

*Nod* Even as morbid as I can be, I still seize up around real death which is why I was grateful Daddy didn't want me to come back to Arkansas for my grandmother's funeral last Wednesday. I'll still miss her terribly and you'll miss you colleague, but life will go on.

If you're talking about the HIV/AIDS thing, I know it's tough, but keep hurting. It's the best thing to do in the long run, for all of us.

Anything else is unthinkable.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was getting at.

If it ever stopped, I don't think I'd be any good at what I do anymore.
