and how everyone who knew her—everyone—was laid low by her leaving.
Maybe I was supposed to hate Caroline Mathers or something because she’d been with Augustus, but I didn’t.
I couldn’t see her very clearly amid all the tributes, but there didn’t seem to be much to hate—
she seemed to be mostly a professional sick person, like me, which made me worry that when I died they’d have nothing to say about me
except that I fought heroically, as if the only thing I’d ever done was Have Cancer.
Anyway, eventually I started reading Caroline Mathers’s little notes, which were mostly actually written by her parents,
because I guess her brain cancer was of the variety that makes you not you before it makes you not alive.
So it was all like, Caroline continues to have behavioral problems.
She’s struggling a lot with anger and frustration over not being able to speak
(we are frustrated about these things, too, of course, but we have more socially acceptable ways of dealing with our anger).
Gus has taken to calling Caroline HULK SMASH, which resonates with the doctors.
There’s nothing easy about this for any of us, but you take your humor where you can get it.
