Today was T's funeral and it's tearing me apart that I was all the way across the country when I wanted nothing more than to be with my other friends back east. I know all that stuff I said about her deserving a rest after such a long fight and that I'm still thankful for the small miracle of having her longer. Waking up from a coma was huge and quite frankly, living for 3 months when the doctors gave you 24 hours is downright badass. All of that is still true. But the fact that she's gone is finally starting to sink in and I'm really struggling right now. I couldn't be there, so I just took a quiet moment this afternoon to say goodbye. And that really hurt.
