The best gift after my dad died was my mom's friend (who was a widow and had been through it herself) who came over right after we got home from the hospital and brought groceries: coffee and sandwich fixings and huge packages of toilet paper and soap. She said "You will have lots of visitors in the next few days and you don't want to have to think about feeding yourselves or keeping this stuff stocked up." It really helped.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
My condolences to the Boy, you and his family, Tep.

I am terribly sorry about Tim's mom Tep, and in awe of how you have handled yourself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Peace to all of you, Steph. May you be comforted by one another.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, peace and strength to you and Elizabeth's whole wonderful family.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, Steph, so much love and strength to you and Tim and Tim's family. He is truly lucky to have you to hold him up, and I'm sure it was a comfort to his mother to know what an amazing partner he has.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Deep sympathies to Tim's family, to Tim, and to you, Steph. She had amazing people to love her.
