I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

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

As others have said before me when they were going through shit, just having a place where I can talk about it helps.

Burrell, I am so sorry. But, yes, having this place is comfort at a time when comforts are rare.

Kate, I am also so sorry to hear about your friend. It's hard.

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.

Then I'm channelling all my ~ma for getting stronger to try more treatment, Burrell.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Strength to you and yours, Burrell, and Kate, too.

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

Had kind of a quiet day at work until half hour before I was supposed to leave when we got the greenlight to export about $50K worth of skillets and so forth that got the kibosh a month ago. Only stayed for an extra hour, but my adrenalin is still up. I'm thinking a decaf Irish Coffee an breakfast for dinner is in order (it's fresh egg day in the -t house).

Because books.

Breakfast for dinner is always a good thing.

ita, the package came, and you *did* put your name on it. Also, DLFJHSDLGHHADJ! More in email.

OK, it's not exactly Irish coffee, but Bailey's+coffee+bacon marshmallow is some kind of tasty, my friends.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Burrel and Kate, much ~~ma to you and my condolences. I hope that in one instance a safe solution is found, and in the other, I suppose only peace is possible, or not. How horrible.

And ita !, I know this means diddly squat, but your preserverance in the face of all this personal physical agony is astounding and agonizing to even witness. And yet you're fucking here and persevering, and I wish you didn't have to, but you are amazing. All my strength to you to kick everyone in the ass and get what you need.

Health~~ma to all.

Our wings are not tired.

but Bailey's+coffee+bacon marshmallow

Oh my!

Kate, I am sorry for your loss.

Burrell, I do wish there was more that I could do than send along wishes for strength and peace. I surely have been in the role of advocate on more than one occasion when my loved ones were suffering. All we can hope for is for someone to fight our fights and follow our decisions when we are too weak to fight for ourselves. It is a blessing that your sister has you by her side. I wish it was easier on all of you, but it is one of the hardest things to go through. I'm holding you and yours in my heart.
