That's a difficult place to be, Connie. My sympathies.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Mother went into a nursing home on Wednesday. My middle sister, who's borne the brunt of immediate monitoring--Mother had been living in an assisted living apartment--then left to go to North Carolina with her new husband for a vacation. Last night she fell out of bed and just seemed bruised, but earlier this morning she was disoriented and when the staff checked on her later, she was gone. I suspect she was trying to leave. Mother was not a woman to give up her independence lightly.
Hubby won't be going with me, both from constraints of budget and because I'm not sticking him on a plane for eight hours. The only flights I've found are red-eyes from Salt Lake with a 4-hour layover in New York, then on to Pittsburgh.
No, I am not the person they knew. My sisters' husbands have never met me, and my niece and nephew have no memory of me. I don't expect miraculous reconciliations, but I think I can avoid weird recriminations. And I will be the same person afterwards that I've always been.
Humble thanks to you all. I am a blessed woman.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Connie, may the circumstance-forced reunion be peaceful, and allow whatever closure is needed for that part of your past.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I have no words, here.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
