I'm so sorry, Jilli.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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?
{{{Jilli}}} I am so so sorry. Every story you've ever shared about your mother makes me love her. Peace and love and comfort to you, your Dad, Pete, and your mom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh Jilli, what devastating news. I'm so fond of your parents from all the stories you've shared of them. What a long, loving marriage they've had, and what warm, protective, snarkling, sweetly loopy gifts they gave to you as parents.
I'm so sorry to hear the news, and my thoughts are with you and Pete, and your Mom and Dad.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Jilli, dear. There aren't any words for how sorry I am. I remember meeting your parents at the F2F, and how utterly lovely they both were individually and as a couple. She is so fortunate to have built a life with your dad and brought you into the world, and if I could move heaven and earth and keep her here with you for decades more I'd do it in an instant.
All the comfort and love in the world to her, and to you and your dad, for all the days you have together.
I don't think I could possibly say it any better than JZ. Adding my love and comfort to hers.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Those who have spoke before me express my sentiments exactly. I am so sorry, Jilli. I wish there was more I could do and say to comfort you, Pete and Dad o'Reason right now.

Thank you, everyone. Dad and I keep veering between blank, and hugely inappropriate jokes.
I said my goodbye to her last night, because, well, her condition is causing her not to look like my Mom anymore, and Pete and Dad flat out said I'm not to come back to the hospital. Dad will call me when the time comes.
I'm very grateful for the comfort you folks have been giving me.

Yes, once again JZ said it perfectly.

I'm so very glad that Pete and Dad are looking out for you in the physical since (most of us) aren't able to be there to hold your hand or make you treats. We love you, O Gothy One.
