Maybe not just, but maybe you should consider how much it may be? Things always seem less impossible to bear for me, if I think that there's an end to them, or I have some control.
I have a mental set of contigencies where I think, ok, this would be the point. But one of those contingencies did come about, and I did survive. But it was such a scary idea that I'd be paralyzed by fear all the time.
I'd miss you an awful lot, Daisy. The world is a better place for you being in it, however it might not feel that way sometimes.
