Shir, Cash and omnis and others have said wise things. This is what I have to add. Sometimes the best way to honor our loved ones, alive or dead, is to learn from their mistakes rather than repeating them. So if you find yourself feeling any guilt over the possibility that you are being disrespectful of your grandfather, remember that you don't have to have the same attitudes to life that he had in order to love him and give him the honor he is due.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

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.

Trust my rage
Do we know an Andrea Miller, speaking of Facebook?

All is well that ends in pizza.
That would be Windsparrow.

I'm slowly getting less paranoid about using my full name online.

Random note to Andi, my maiden name was Miller. That makes the possibility of us being related about zero, but I'll pretend.

I *so* wish I had meant that as a joke. Like, I was clever enough to have put that together and still played stupid.
So sorry - I always think of you as Andi. And in my defense, you need a picture!

How long have you lived in Florida? Cuz that's where my dad's family is from. Different part of the state, though - Pensacola, Quincy, Tallahassee. The sooner we have this conversation, the smaller the chance that we could be related. Which means if don't have it now, 15 years from now we will find out that we're second cousins twelve times removed, and end up saying, "Now, why didn't we figure this out sooner?"

I moved here as an adult. My father was born in Tupper Lake, NY. His family was mostly from upstate NY and Canada. But ya know, some ancestor may have gone a travelin'.

No need to feel that way. Double checking is never wrong.

Andi is what my family call me, which is why I felt comfortable using it here. And I've got a picture up now.
