Yesterday in Ramzan
Aaaah. The world floats at body temperature. Very nice, very nice. I'm in a seemingly better mood. My head is clear. Thoughts are coming one at a time, nicely formed. I like this. Well, I might as well admit it: sometimes chai is god DAMN pleasant. Godamn pleasant, do you say? I do indeed, my dear sir, godamn pleasant. Nice little interior dialogue, that.
hmm well what do you know. It's about time for iftaar. Well, aliG, time to give your bladder a release. Get up now, that's a good fellow. One, two, three. Up. There you go. Takes a lot of effor, and energy level seems low, but no problem with motor control here. Stroll over to the bathroom. Turn on the light. Oops, no electricity. Whats this? A little nausea? Let it out, then. There. That wasn't bad at all. And again? No problem. Just let it come on up. Perfect. Now sit down, let your bladder relax, too. Great. Rinse your mouth and head back to the couch. Take a detour for a glass of water. Here's a glass. Here's the water.
Fuck. What have I done. I'm supposed to be fasting. Was fasting. Am fasting. Gaah. Sit down on the couch and have some rest G. You've earned it. What time is it? acha, head for the mosque. which one. the one with the best food.

About: Death. Mourning. The whole 9 yards of this awful vanishing act.
These words are golden. They help me when I think of my father.
“Death is a part of life son. Everyone has to die sometime. Mourning is painful. Sometimes it’s more than we can bear. We don’t mourn because our loved one is dead but because we loved that person. So if you don’t love, you don’t mourn. But love like death is a part of life son. It is hard to endure mourning but we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
