It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

My stepdad collapsed at the gym and is possibly having a heart attack. We’re headed to the hospital now, but we’re an hour away. All the ~ma please.

Our wings are not tired.
My brother passed away yesterday, surrounded by his three older sisters, his wife, son, and my husband. His health has been failing, and I had reservations to come visit all of next week, while my sister Mona was going to be flying down yesterday. Brendon told me to just come with her too. We arrived and he passed within the hour. We are grateful that he waited for us.

Actual Mom has some additional testing after an inconclusive mammogram tomorrow. I know mostly it isn't, but she's come down on the wrong side of that before so vibes are requested. Thanks!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Speaking of mothers, mine's entered the hospice stage of things. So there's that.
She's at the apartment and the home health people will be providing assistance. My hope is that we get a month or two, but who knows at this point. This year: not the best of them.
