Kirk just emailed to say he goes for surgery tomorrow evening to have his kidney removed. I hope--I don't really feel right saying "pray", but anyway--that everything goes well and this turns out to be the only operation required.

He means so much to me, even though there's a distance that has formed between us. I tried calling him several times since receiving the first news, and never managed to reach him. Now I just have to wait for the post-surgery update.

We used to be so close...I still tear myself up over what happened and blame myself for it all. If only I had let well enough alone...So very many things would be different. I don't even really know what to do to even try to restore the friendship as it was.

Now though, it's a struggle through fear just to call him. The longer I don't get through, the harder it gets, too.

I don't pray, but your friend and *you* are in my thoughts. I know what it is to be where you are.

You're both in my thoughts.
Someone once told me that friendships are like the tide. They swell and ebb, but they are always there. I hope that that helps.

I've found this to be true in my life, too... I hope it's true for you (Fiona), and Kirk...

You and Kirk are in my thoughts. I'll light a candle for him on my healing altar, if that would be appropriate.

Exactly appropriate, thank you.

I will keep Kirk and your relationship with him in my prayers!
