I'm so sorry, Steph.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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.
Teppy, I'm so sorry about your uncle. That is way too young, and your family has had such a hard time of recently. Sending warm, comforting (non-hug-ish), peace~ma.
ChiKat, that really sucks for you and Mickey. I don't even know what to say. Kitty~ma.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, Chi, I hope you have some clearer answers and a clearer path soon. It's very hard, I know.

Oh, Teppy. That's too much.
I'm sorry, ChiKat.
My mother's sister died this evening, but we're really just relieved. There was really no love lost there, and I'm just glad my mother won't be wearing herself out going to the nursing home any more. Mother doesn't want me to come to Nashville for the funeral. My remaining cousin is handling the arrangements and, of course, pissing my mother off in the process.

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?
Oh, Ginger, I hope things calm down for your mom soon and she can get some rest.
Thanks for the ~ma, y'all. I'm trying to come to grips with this and figure out next steps, most likely more diagnostic (and expensive) test. Need to know some more about his condition before any other decisions can be made. I'm really glad he's healthy and happy right now.

I am kind of afraid that it will hit Mom that she's the last one left.
