Chega de Saudade (No More Tears)

I have cried more in these past two weeks than I can remember ever crying before. I try to stop, but just now, listening to the song Nghiem sent me (Por Toda Minha Vida [For All My Life]) I burst into tears again. I am pathetic sometimes. Truly.

Interestingly, I normally don't produce enough tears and have to use "artificial tears" every day to keep my eyes from drying out. But when I cry, I have no problem producing a torrent of them.

I have also not been eating. Last night was the first meal I had in a few days. I have lost so much weight that my clothes are all much too big. My pants fall down. Some people have asked me if I am sick. Yes, I am.
