death bereavement · text message · days · 70-120 words

Your close friend of 10 years — someone you met at work, whose family you've had over for dinner many times — lost her 8-year-old son Leo to leukemia four days ago. His treatment lasted 18 months. You were at the hospital the day he died. You've been texting daily. She's replied to each one with a short 'thank you' or heart emoji. You are texting her now, a Tuesday afternoon. You know meals have been organized; you do not need to offer logistics. You will see her Sunday. 70-120 words. Just the text, no preamble.
