I'm so sorry for your loss, ND, but glad that your dad made it back to home and family and was able to pass peacefully. Your whole family is in my thoughts (and especially your mother in her loss and devastation; all possible comfort to her, and to all of you coping with your own grief and supporting her).
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm sorry, ND. Much peace~ma to you and your family.
And thank you to everyone for your support. I was able to talk to Dad's oncologist today. While they're still waiting on the subtype lab-work, the doctor is cautiously optimistic that Dad probably has a nodular type that can be treated with a minimally awful form of chemo. If she's right, the 5-year survival rate is over 80%. If she's wrong we'll deal with that next week.

How are you getting from Pgh to your destination?
My oldest sister will already be in town and will pick me up. She's leaving on Sunday as well, so we'll go up to the airport together.
No, that price was just for me.

Cautious optimism can be a good thing, Calli. Continued ~ma for your dad and your whole family.

I'm so sorry Drew. But I'm glad you were there and he was home.

We can handle it.
When's the last time you were in PA, Connie? Was that 25 years ago?

Pretty much. I'll only be there for two days, really, so I won't get much time to look around. But hopefully I can borrow a car and drive out to the old house and take some pictures. Hubby wants to see where I grew up.

Our wings are not tired.
We were probably drinking beer.
