(((((Cass and family))))) Peace to all of you. It sounds like every one of you put forth an amazing, heroic effort, even through the suddenness and the pain, to ease your grandma's passing as much as possible, and to support one another through it all.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
{{{Cass}}}, and because it sounds like a necessary but difficult situation, {{{C}}}.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
{{{{{{Cass}}}}}}} I'll be around on IM off and on through the afternoon and evening if you want to chat. My family went though some very similar things this year, and I'd be happy to lend a sympathetic ear.

Because books.
I filled her room with pictures of her whole family, candles, fresh flowers and her favorite music.
{{{Cass}}} You're a thoughtful, loving granddaughter. Much peace to you and your family.

Good news, Maidengurl!

Our wings are not tired.
We had a tough morning that went much better than expected.
This is good to hear MG. Yay for moving forward. Sorry C's all crampy though.
I'm working, really. I just have to break up the data fixing for the sake of my eyes occasionally.
I'm hoping the boys vote for family movie night instead of football while I sit here working.

Much, much peace to you Cass, and to all your loved ones. May the release of passage be warmed by remembrance.
Lots of 'the right thing happening' wishes to all who need them.

Lots of 'the right thing happening' wishes to all who need them.
Beej, that strikes me as the perfect sentiment right now. It definitely makes it easier to accept the events of the day.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Owen's learning to yell. I can hear him upstairs hollering "GREEN! YEWO!" Looks like it's time to start teaching about "inside voices".

Good news, MG. I hope all goes well.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
((((Cass)))) Peace to you and your family. It's never easy, but it sounds as though it was as good as all of you could make it, and sweet release and peace for your grandmother.
MG, I'm glad it went well.
