Dude, your birthday dinner was nearly a year ago, Lee??? That is unpossible. Except for that pesky whole trip around the sun thing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Minus about 2 weeks, yep.
Hey, wanna go to Vegas, with Juliana and Emily and I, in about 2 weeks?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, man. Thanks, sara. I now realise this my first non-family funeral. That accounts for a lot of fear and feelings of isolation. Usually I'd have someone I'm really very close to to lean on, and I'm not afraid of losing it in front of them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ita--your presence is what counts. I am sure that you will both give and recieve comfort tomorrow, which is as it should be.

I think my sister's multibaby shower conflicts. I *told* her to time her pregnancies better...
Usually I'd have someone I'm really very close to to lean on, and I'm not afraid of losing it in front of them.I was so grateful to be with S at Billy's service in March. I knew a lot of people there but few that I could really trust when I was that fragile.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What scrappy said.
And I think a peer dying is always hard.

She is wise and right.

ita, I hope I didn't make it harder in defining it. I hope you can find people to draw around you, that you find comfort in. It doesn't matter who knew who longer, just that you knew. I didn't have that and didn't seek it until it was too late, and I've gotta say, it left me a bit adrift. Sucks.
There was a void that came in our small circle, one I don't know was filled, but we tried. For 3 years. It took us until the last of his students neared graduation and I crawled into someone's lap and lost my shit for us to acknowlege our loss. And now? He's a legend at our small school. I didn't do it, not at all, those before did, and passed it on to me.

FWIW, Giada was actually born in Rome and lived there until she was 7.
hm, didn't know that. Oh, well, why let the truth get in the way of a good rant :)
Just realized that Nip/Tuck is premiering this week. I can't really get excited about it, maybe because the Carver denouement was such a complete clusterfuck of vastly improbably proportions that I no longer have any confidence in the writers. Here's hoping that they've all been fired and the new people are much better.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Robin's wise, as usual, ita. The simple fact of your presence will bring comfort, and as a wise woman mentioned recently in my live journal,
"Tears are not useless, and fighting them is a waste of your beautiful strength. If they come, let them come. Better than letting them build up. "
