If she dies I don't know if I'll even find out, let alone whether I'll feel much. I think I've been letting her go for a while now.

We lost them before they died. A terrible by-product of the krasnov years and the decades of incessant right wing propaganda, as well as the intractable racism and bigotry of most if not all magats.

I want to say I'm sorry, and I am, but I feel like I understand your feelings all too well.
