The funeral

Went to Sonya's funeral today.

She was so young. So full of potential. So undeserving of this ending.

Mario looked like a ghost. Completely hollow. Completely gone.

I felt sorry for him. Which surprised me. But grief removes judgments. It just leaves raw human pain.

Anneka held my hand the whole time. That's all I needed. Just her presence.

Everyone else can fall apart. As long as I have her, I'll be okay.
