Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I did not wear pink.

But I did trick grace's doc into telling us how much longer we have to do this by mentioning Grace is desperate to swim.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh man, you guys. Can I brain dump for a moment?

I'll delete some or all of this shortly, but I need to say it to *somebody* just to get it out. Feel free to TLDR.

I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster (OF DOOOM...) and man, I just want it to stop.

Hil,

apparently she was not totally Deaf when she was born and was wearing a hearing aid at age 2.

Because books.

Oh, brenda. That's so much to deal with all at once. Deep breaths.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm with Amy.

Even 20% of that is too much.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, brenda, that is a lot. I'm sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

apparently she was not totally Deaf when she was born and was wearing a hearing aid at age 2.

Interesting. Thanks. I wonder why the doctors decided she was a good candidate for the surgery, since it seems like she was already doing really well with the hearing aids.

Ooof, Brenda, that sucks. A lot. I'd say more but my flight (that I barely made because I ha to run home to get my computer cord, and still forgot my kindle!) is about to leave. But somehow I made reservations for a hotel in Denver even though I'm going to Colorado Springs.

I'm sure by the time I log back in buffistas will have good answers for you!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Hil,

maybe she stopped doing as well? I don't know.
