MM, you are so right.
Oh Maria. I'm so sorry.
I live and rely on us all so much. My sister wants you all to know you are in her thoughts.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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 forgot to eat today. That's probably... not helpful.
My boss looked stricken and gave me her muffin while trying to make me leave immediately when I admitted what happened. The muffin helped. Eat something, if you can.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The "house that ita built" made me cry. It's perfect.
Yeah. In the Muslim conception of creation, God doesn't just build the universe and leave it to run. Every moment requires an ongoing, conscious act of creation to sustain it. I felt much the same way about ita and the Phoenix board. I mean, the board is here, and still running; but she was such a constant and prolific presence here, she felt like the board's sustaining spirit.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Maria, I am so sorry! Much love and many hugs for you both. (Well, you can pass on the ones to him from me, okay?) I truly believe that organ donors are superheroes, and they leave a gift that's selfless and amazing.

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.
Maria, extra peace and love to you and your BF. Also more love and peace to Joe and all who love your grandmother.

Thank you all. It's just surviving at this point.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
