Drove over to Lafayette today thinking it would make the weekend easier for Kevin if we split the travel over two days.
Paige and Rob met us at St. Tom's for Mass. St. Tom's feels good. It just feels good to walk in there. Even today when sad news greets us at the door--Genie died early this morning. The news wasn't unexpected--she has been so sick for so long. I'm glad we were at St. Tom's though. It was easy to think happy memories of her there.
Kevin is exhausted tonight. The physical side of chemotherapy and traveling along with the emotional impact of hearing about Genie. I think cancer leaves you hearing about someone else's death and wondering why it wasn't you. There's a certain amount of guilt that seems to walk hand in hand with surviving cancer, at least for Kevin, and much of the time there are more questions than answers.
