Love those moments, Cass, wallow in them as much as you can.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Actually my Dad even said he was really happy that I had moved. It was on Friday which was a really hard day for him and it was out of the blue. I managed to not completely cry. I am never forgetting that moment.
Oh Cass, I am so sorry. It's one of the hardest things you'll ever go through. I won't lie and say it gets better because it doesn't, but you do eventually come to terms with it and learn to hold on tightly to moments like that one.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Cass, it's wonderful you and your dad had that moment. I would have bawled
He'd be horrified at his life now. The physical limitations are huge but it's the mental impairment that breaks my heart. THIS. This is what happened to my dad's mom, it was her worst fear and it was heartbreaking and rage-inducing (at the universe.) I am so sorry, love, but glad you can spend time, no matter how painful in moments, with your daddy.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Cass. It's so hard, and I'm so sorry. You are such a good person.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's one of the hardest things you'll ever go through. I won't lie and say it gets better because it doesn't, but you do eventually come to terms with it and learn to hold on tightly to moments like that one.
I don't think comforting is the right word, but this helps. Thank you. I can't really articulate it better right now but it's actually better to hear that, yes, it's awful, realistically going to get worse but that I will also make it through. That I will always have the memories of my Dad and maybe I can add a few more good memories.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Big hugs to Scrappy, and Frank, and to you Cass. I'm so sorry you're all going through this.
