this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim's follow-up post-treatment PET scan is tomorrow morning. Fortunately we don't have to wait long for the results, because he has an appointment with the oncologists tomorrow afternoon to go over the results. Please send all the good vibes his way. And all the fuck-you-cancer vibes, too.

Compassionately intolerant

It's been so long, but I think about all of you all the time.

I'm dipping in with a ~ma request for Cagney. He is in hospital and, well...

I will no let him suffer like Bartleby did. While I am hoping for more time, I will not be greedy for one more day that he cannot give me without pain.

Please. Just gentle, right outcomes, whatever our fate.

In two months, it will have been 14 years. A triumph no matter what.

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

Trudy's mommy, Ruth, passed away surrounded by her family yesterday. Services will be held on Saturday.
