I'm just numb today. My friend's family came and said their goodbyes and... well... It's still not real that the man I talked to a week ago is dead. All of his tomorrows washed away. I hope there's closure in the next few weeks. Untimely deaths are the hardest to process.

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
