It's not fair

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

My thoughts are with you and your family, Pru. In this case, I'd say a disability is far better verdict than death. Given how supportive you are, and I imagine the rest of his family and friends are, he'll get through it, no matter how much hard work it might be. It's heartwrenching, of course. Nothing changes that. But it's where his life is taking him and it is what it is. It's not your fault, of course. It's no one's fault. That's what makes the tragic moments so difficult. There's often nowhere to turn one's anger and sadness but within. That only eats people up.

Steady on, you two.
