and more sadness...

the 59-year old brother of a close friend
went to sleep on Thursday night
and didn't wake up on Friday morning

the funeral was today
the family is devastated

if there are more details I don't know them
he was cremated so no autopsy

my dad is at home
getting up in the morning
taking many pain pills
hardly eating
feeling pain

my mother watches him like a hawk
and tells people he is failing
that this is the beginning of the end

he doesn't want to walk further
than between his bedroom and the family room
and my mother won't

when I spoke with her today
she looked at me with such sad eyes
I had nothing to say
nothing to offer

today
I'm incredibly sad
