Growth. Over.

I'm sorry.


Why is apologizing the first thing I did when I had to tell everyone I had a tumor?  "I'm sorry," I said, like I failed them.


This is how I die.


Some people fight, but why am I ready?  I haven't even felt sick.  "This is how I die," I told myself, before there was even a prognosis.


I haven't finished.


Regret?  Drive?  Or just a statement?  "I haven't finished," I told the universe matter-of-factly.


I'm sorry.
