Around here, random pro fireworks are usually attached to sports events -- Friday home game or whatnot. All strength to you in dealing with the care thing, and healing ~ma to the Boy's mom.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That's a tough situation to be in, Teppy. But you're doing all you can. ~ma to the Boy's mom.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{Nora}} I wish I could say or do something to make it better, but I suspect there's not anything. So, all I will do is offer virtual hugs and know that I'm thinking of you and think that you are one cool chick that I'm very happy to know.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Teppy, My SiL the nurse translating medical stuff for me when my dad was dying was invaluable and I will be forever grateful to her for that. You just being there and running what interference you can and thinking of things like portable food for him is worth the world to The Boy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Every night at 9:30 I can hear the fireworks from Disneyland. But I can't see them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Tep}}} Being there is a lot. Really. And that fireworks moment sounds really nice. I'm glad you got it.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thoughts for Teppy and Nora.
I'm tweeting from the UK Feminista 'summer school'/conference today. Hashtag is #femschool if anyone wants to follow us!

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.
Much continued ~ma for Tom's mohter and The Boy's mother.
Much peace and comfort ~ma to Nora and Teppy.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Teppy, I was in your position when Hubs's mother was dying of cancer. You're helping in exactly the way that in-laws do best. You're taking care of the day-to-day things that have to be taken care of so the immediate family (by which I mean the blood relatives who've known Boy's mother all their lives, or all her life) can devote all their time to the situation and not have to worry about splitting their attention to get a meal or get clothes that are clean or so on. And that's very important.
Boy's job is to go crazy with concern. Doctors' job is to get Boy's mother better. Your job is support. They're all critical.
