Oh, god, Ginger. Fucking fuck cancer, that fucker.

[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.

So many brackets to your family, Ginger. The Universe needs to take one hell of a large step backwards. Fuck cancer, indeed.

I am so gonna stop giving you the good stuff.
Noooo! I thought you were proud of your nausea-inducing links!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm sorry, Ginger.
I am so gonna stop giving you the good stuff.
Wait, that was the good stuff? What have you been holding back?

One of the hardest parts is that because his wife is taking chemo, she can't go to the hospital. She does have quite a few local relatives who are taking care of things. There's not going to be a lot I can do, since her relatives view me as a know-it-all and possibly Communist, but I know they do love my cousin.

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.
Aw, crud, Ginger. Fuck cancer, and so much ~ma for your cousin, his wife, and your whole family.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ginger, that's...that's unspeakable. I am so sorry.
I thought you were proud of your nausea-inducing links!
I'm just trying to share the wealth, that's all. I think my rep is somewhat biased.
Wait, that was the good stuff? What have you been holding back?
Harrumph. The things I do for you people...the lack of appreciation I get...

It really is approaching Job-like proportions. Mother's three brothers are gone and her sister, whom she never liked, is in a nursing home, and Mother has expended way too much time and energy on dealing with her in the past few years. Mother is losing her eyesight to macular degeneration and has congestive heart failure. She's also deeply depressed, but I can't get her to talk to a doctor about that.
