Damn. One of my best friends' father died this morning. Not entirely unexpected - he'd been in the hospital two months ago with a grim prognosis, but once he'd gotten out of the hospital he'd started on a real turnaround. Unfortunately, he had a rapid decline the last couple of days and passed away today.

It's always sudden.

Oh my msbelle. Scary and hard, and possibly exactly the right place to be right now. I hope it opens doors.

eta: I say this because I've been on the sidelines to something like this before, and even though it is not fun admitting a kid in these circs, it really was a necessary and ultimately very helpful step.

I may have caught con crud, since I feel sad and pathetic. I went out to get lunch, but now I'm still hungry. I don't want to go out again, nor do I want to actually make any food. Woe.

Oh msbelle. I am sending you all the love and support I can. I wish I could do more.

Sorry for your friend, Frakenbudda.

All punctuation to msbelle and mac.

hugs to you both, msbelle and mac. Here's for swift and immediate and appropriate help for him!

((((msbelle))))
((((mac))))

Dana, I definitely have the con crud, which has added a not-delightful cough to the mix.

msbelle, I'm so sorry. All kinds of vibes for you both. I wish I could do something to help.

Also, Sophia, you should totally buy that falling down house. A little paint, a few nails, it could be adorable!
