He died at just about 11 PM so it's pretty much the middle of the night. Everyone is up here. Mom is hanging in there, we'll see how she does over the next few weeks. On one level she's ready to go with him. They've been married for 49 years. Kristin should be pulling up shortly, she flew back in to LAX and then has been driving down here to San Diego.

49 years. Wow. I can't even imagine knowing somebody for that long, let alone be married to them.
It's good to read that Kristin will be there with you soon, middle of the night or not.
Will everybody stay there for the night? Do you already work out details of what-happens-now and what-has-to-be-done?
I'm not sure what's appropriate to ask and what's nosy and not-in-place and annoying. I'm sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry, Drew.

So sorry, Drew. I'm glad though that you got to get home to the family to support them, and let your father know you loved him.

I'm so sorry about your father, Drew. But I am glad he had his final day at home with his family. Much love to you.

ND, I'm so sorry about your father.
Wait--is that where the Serenity premiere afterparty was held? It just seems right seeing NF and NPH there, and, well, it is the only place I've seen either of them in person.
Hmmm... maybe. It does seem right doesn't it. I had forgotten that NPH was there.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Drew, I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm glad you were there and that his wishes were honored. I'm also glad to hear Kristin will be there with you.
Much love, hugs and prayers to you all.

Natterinos-
I have been asked to create a job description for myself that will help start the process for moving me up one more grade. I have no examples of that grade available to me. My actual job duties aren't changing so much as I will have no supervision in them and I will be doing a lot more planning etc. I don't really supervise anyone, but the pay grades here are based a lot on how many people you supervise.
Help?
