I get why she might want something different, but this is so not about her. And if once, she had to explain really bad news to other people - then she would get it.
I'm sorry Connie, sending you and your DH extra strength
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

[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.

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.
Connie, I am so, so sorry.

OK, that went much better than I thought it would be. As Hubby just pointed out, this was his daughter going through her own stages of grief and upset. But if she wants to vent the years of her frustration, she's going to have to do it out of my earshot, because I cannot stand by and let anyone yell at Hubby. I cannot.
I admit I have not done well by her. I am not mother material. But I can do better.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry, Connie.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Connie, this is all just so hard. But you don't have to feel you have to heal all the past's ills. Just do what you can now, but don't be too hard on yourself.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Connie, I'm so deeply sorry the answer sucks. Much ~ma, strength, and brackets to you and Hubby.
And fuck motherfucking cancer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Connie, I'm very sorry, both for the diagnosis and for the unneeded drama.
