I'm sorry, Cass. There is never an easy death, but it sounds like your grandmother had a death that was as loving and gentle as you could make it. I hope you heal soon.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Well, ION, I'm off. Horrid errands to run, and comics to love. Ciao.

Cash, I'm sorry we will miss you guys. I'm sure it will be by just a few days and that's too bad. I was orginally hoping to still be here for Ellie's 1st birthday (June 4th) but that seems almost impossible now.
Right now, the plan is for our furniture to be packed up by May 1st or so and then we will all fly (the three of us plus two dogs) to San Juan somewhere between the 18th and Memorial Day. I'm hoping a house will be waiting for us. That almost never happens with the Army, but I hear its pretty common at Ft. Buchanan.

{{{{{{{{{{{Cass}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry for you loss. I am glad your grandmother is at rest and out of pain, and that she had all of the love and support of her family when she did.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cash, I'm sorry we will miss you guys. I'm sure it will be by just a few days and that's too bad.
That sort of sucks. But I hope all goes smoothly for you guys and you have a house waiting for you when you get there. We'll be doing this trip sans kids so I'll console myself with many rum-flavored drinks on the beach.

We had a tough morning that went much better than expected. C's dad signed his part of the guardian ship papers, saying he recommends us. This is going to make the rest of the process MUCH easier.
I went to shake his hand goodbye at the end and got pulled into a hug and he whispered "thanks" in my ear.

MG, that is great news. It's also good to know that the man really understands what's happening and appreciates it. I hope C is feeling good about it.

C is feeling crampy which seems to override everything else right now. I think overall she is happy, but it is so complicated. I can't imagine what is going on in her head right now.

Oh, Cass. I'm glad her struggle is over, but I'm so sorry for your loss.
MG, that's so very cool.
Man, between the two of you - damn allergies.
