To Rachel

// August 11th, 2009 // John, Rachel

John wrote this on Rachel’s wall today. I wanted to save it on my blog as facebook isn’t guaranteed to save everything for forever.

My beautiful girl. I wish I could tell you what I think. I wish you could understand. I wish I could take this from you. You have brought me to the greatest place in my life. The idea that you will suffer until you die is unfathomable. When you… get mad at me I know it isn’t you. When you scream and such I know it isn’t you. That is when we talk to the disease directly. When this is over I promise to remember you not the disease.
