I love the idea of giving him to the woods so that the woods can embrace him. Just beautiful.
He spent a good part of his life saving the woodland. I'm sure it will welcome him as the hero he was.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

[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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I am still not coping. I'm compartmentalizing so that I either have to put it out of my head while I attend a shitload of work events (it's a cocktail conference here, and I can't even drink my troubles away, because very bad things happen if I drink while sad or mad.) Or I cry pretty much nonstop at home.
I don't understand what my brain is doing. I know my heart is breaking.

Wow! Knightly garb was a good look for him!
Also, whoever does the spell check for iPads is a Doctor Who fan. It revised my typo of "ood" to "Ood".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wow. Viking indeed. Thanks for sharing that photo, Connie.
Nora, after Tales will you have some time to let yourself fall apart a little? I do feel better today, having been able to sleep yesterday and go to the vigil.
I have decided not to try and come back for the funeral. I hate it, but her family knows I am there for the long haul. And I need to spend time with my family. So, decision made. Thanks for offers of driving, amyth and Zenkitty.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's a wonderful photo, Connie.
I know it was a hard choice, smonster, but it sounds like the right one. Take care of yourself.
And you too, Nora. It's okay to not cope for a while, so be forgiving.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I love the photo, Connie!
smonster, it sounds like you made the right decision for you. It was so much more important that you were there for her when she was alive.
I got my hair done today. Not sure I like the color, but getting out was good. I feel better than yesterday. Now I'm trying to decide if I have enough spoons to tackle Trader Joes.

That's a great photo, Connie!
