A very close friend of mine in the Philippines
is in critical condition at this very moment.

Thoughts and prayers are the only things I can offer.
As I sit here, staring at this screen,
I really do not know what to think, or what to do.

I really don’t know.

“Helpless” would be the right word for it.

It’s not about me being very helpless,
it’s about me, not being able to help.

It’s the price you pay,
when your loved ones are far away.

Actually,
I think it’s more of,

It’s the price you pay,
when you decided to be far away.
