Regressing in Pacifica
I was visiting once and Marcelle took Andrei and me to a Thai restaurant in Pacifica where she was living at the time. As we perused the menu, with all the funny sounding names for dishes, Andrei and I completely regressed, laughing like little boys at “Thai Prik”, “Fauk Yao”, and “Poo Pad”. In the face of this infantilism, Marcelle stoicly endured, as she does now.

Dearest Justin,
I frankly don’t know how stoic I am right now - I am in all directions emotionally, all 360 degrees of all planes - from rage and outrage toward the MDs and pharmacists that provided Andrei with medications with deadly interactions; to grief about his aliveness no longer being with us on the physical plane; to sweetness when I read your posts and others’; to openness to whatever is unfolding; to love and compassion, including to myself; to laughter as I read your Thai pronunciations …
with much love,
Marcelle
