Oh, Maria. I'm sorry. What an awful day.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
It's surreal. I mean how much fuckery can one day hold?
The BF says thank you to you all.

Maria, I'm so sorry.
Fuck January, man. It's a month of birthdays for a lot of people I love, but it's also the month we lost ita, and the month I lost my mom. Fuck this fucking month.
(I think I've hit the anger stage of the evening. I can't tell if that's better than numb.)
I've been writing vicious letters to her doctors in my head a lot of today.
Right. There. With. You.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Lots of fuckery apparently. Joe's grandmother is getting moved to hospice ASAP. She's basically given up and will not be with us for much longer, we suspect.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Is this where we are, now? Is this the time of our lives where we...we just talk more and more about those that have...?
Well, maybe it is, but...not...not ita. It's like Superman dying. It's not real, right? It's a gimmick, it's marketing, it's just to spark our interest again...
...she'll be back, right?
I mean, yeah, we'll have to deal with a few months of itagirl, ita's clone; and Cyborg ita; Steel ita; which one is the real ita Returned? But...
But...
...
...real life sucks ass.

I'm so sorry, Maria. I'm glad you and your guy have each other to help get through today and tonight.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Maria, that's too much. But bless him (and his family, since they're the ones who have to agree) for donating his organs.

Could it be an imaginary story? That would be great.

Because books.
I'm so sorry, Maria. It's so unfair.
Our trivia team name was "The Firefly universe has lost a moon." I broke into tears periodically.
Oh, Ginger.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Maria, I am so sorry.
My daughter just said "wow she had a lot of people who loved her". She truly did.
She does.
askye, your post was lovely. And well said.
