My aunt did pass away today. As it turns out, I got the order of things wrong, not that it really matters. She had double knee replacement surgery Wednesday (apparently her cardiologist recommended she *not* have the surgery), and she went into heart failure today. My dad is currently just really angry that she had the surgery against her cardiologist's recommendation. Man.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, that's rough, Steph. My sympathies.

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'm sorry, Steph. And for your dad especially.
sj, thinking of you and TCG during a very stressful and private time. I'm glad you trusted us.

Teppy, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry, Teppy. Y'all have had a rough couple of years. I don't think much of a surgeon who would do such a surgery without a cardiac green light.

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.
I'm so sorry, Steph.
Askye, that sounds like a challenging vacation.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My condolences, Tep.
