Oh Daisy, its so hard to lose them at Christmastime. We lost my Grandmother ten years ago last week. For the first few years it made the holiday very hard -- but now, I swear, Christmas brings her back to me.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

For Jilli (gift to my mom for xmas. Not best picture, but you get the idea. First saw them at Albuquerque airport shops, this one bought at Mud&Metal here in B'more.)
Daisy, 96 and the stories you've told may be a well-lived life, but it's always too soon. I'm so sorry. Glad you got to have visit where he was feisty. It counts in memory.

Daisy, I am so sorry. May his passing be peaceful, and may you find peace, too.

When we lost my grandpa at age 88, I recall that even though the funeral was sad there was still a lot of jokes and good stories about him to make the event a warm and pleasant one. That is the kind of funeral I want. I want jokes and funny stories. I want people to laugh.

Ann, that's a ferret.
((((Daisy and family))))
It sounds like he's had a good run, but it always seems to end too soon.

My dad's family is like that. Sometimes we even feel bad that we're having such a good time and someone is dead.

Because books.
Losing my dad's dad was really hard for me, but his funeral was a lot like what Cash described -- lots of stories and laughter and an amazingly Dixieland version of "Amazing Grace" during the ceremony that he would have loved.
ION, we just had major unexpected toddler pukage. On. Our. Bed. I foresee laundry this evening.

{{Daisy Jane}} My thoughts are with you and your family. 96 is a good life, one to remember and make family legends out of. My sympathies are with you.

Oh, no. Poor Sara. I hope she feels better (and that it goes right away).

Daisy, honey, I'm so sorry.
I honestly don't know where the strength comes from! Bless every single parent among you.
Costco? Wherever it is, I had a sudden run on needing it about ten minutes ago when my toddler suddenly stuck her short, sharp-nailed finger UP MY FUCKING NOSE and then laughed at my scream of pain as she punctured the skin on the inside of it. My eyes crossed and watered with the pain of it, and right now, I am sitting with a tissue shoved up my nostril to keep blood from dripping everywhere.
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
