Thank you all. I'm leaving for home right now, and will be dark until Monday, by which point they'll have plans made--he and Mom were just speaking about this a few weeks ago in the abstract, and he said that when his time comes, he'd want to be cremated with a memorial service following when people can get together to celebrate his life.
He has three daughters/stepdaughters that he's very close with and one asshole of a son who's cut himself off from Wayne. I just hope the asshole either (a) doesn't show up at all, or (b) at least restrains his asshole-ish tendencies for his sisters' sakes.
That is so sad. I'm so sorry Kathy.
Kathy, I'm so sorry. My condolences to your mom.
So very sorry for you and all your family, Kathy!
Kathy, I'm so sorry. Peace to you, your Mom and Wayne's family.
Oh, Kathy, I'm so very sorry. Love and strength to your poor mom.
its, are you still looking for a slip? [link]
Oh, those look so very comfy, Aimée. If my long-delayed run to JC Penney isn't fruitful this weekend, I think I'll give that a shot.
Jessica--happy anniversary!
There are few weeks of work I'd rather have end than this one.
Lucky for you, it's almost over.
(Sign that I knew I could be friends with my one coworker: I said something about wanting a day off, and she made the crack I usually do about the two days off coming up at the end of the week.)
