Transcription: "12/3/94 Seattle train on July 4th
Tania texted me shortly after. My catharsis was to scan photos she gave me & send them out.

That grief was felt in full, though, for about a week after writing; told not to call. Her sweet humor still showed through. I wonder what she would be saying for us from the other side.

John said something about his world being darker with her gone ” balked ” not wanting to be self indulgent ” but it is true for me too."
