'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
{{Cass}} I moved when my dad was diagnosed with cancer to be near him. It was the best decision for me and my family. It is wonderful that your father was surrounded by love when he was ready to go. Really, what more can we ask for.
Please take care of yourself now. Loss can do a real number on your immune system. It will be hard to not overdo, but try and be gentle with yourself. Love you.

I am so, so sorry. Much love and ~ma to you and yours.

Given his situation, we were more than blessed. And having everyone there was good. This has been a long year and I know he struggled and had a lot of difficult situations but the end was peaceful so I am really grateful for that.
Being loved and knowing that you will be missed but that those left behind will take care of each other, it's the best we can ask.
I just miss my Dad.
There's a Facebook picture up that I really like. I'm not linking for privacy but I think everyone here knows how to find me (or ask). My sister put it up but my name brings it right up.
My condolences to you and your family, Cass. Losing a parent is hard.

My condolences, Cass. I know the past several months have been really difficult for you and your family. I'm glad there was a peaceful exit. That's probably the best you could have hoped for.
Much 'ma for you all.
Cass, I'm so very sorry. I'm glad you could be there this week.
I spent the day at the Animal Welfare League intake center. That's always a tough day, though rewarding too. At least one of the dogs I spent time with will almost certainly not survive much longer. Pitt mix who is just super crazy hyperactive and more dog focused than people. And kennel cough. He's not barky, but that's about all he's got going for him. Another, also a pitt, was sweet as can be but so so terrified of everyone and everything. He's hopefully got a bit more promise.
I also bagged about 500 lbs of dog chow, so shoulders a little stiff. They do a food pantry for people who can't afford to buy food for their pets. Last time about 450 people showed up. In some ways that's one of the most effective things they can do to keep animals from being surrendered or abandoned.
Now to go hang with my actual dog for a while.
I'm sorry, Cass. {{Cass}}
Cass I'm so sorry. Peace and love to you and your family.
