Helpless

What do you do when something earth shattering happens and there's no one you can talk to about it? You can't blog about it either. You just have to stuff it down inside of yourself and shudder.

It didn't happen to me. It happened to someone I'm close to. I'm scared. Down in the bottom of my heart and lungs and belly scared, because I don't know how it's going to turn out. There's probably nothing I can do to make a difference one way or another. I have no white horse or even a rusty scrap of armor, nor do I have any idea of how to find help. I can say I'm here and I'll listen and I love you, but I can't do anything.

And I don't know if the sun will come up again.
