i'm making an apple pie. Mostly because my daughter wanted to make a pie and we had a LOT of apples, but now I feel kind of like this.

Shrift, I would be interested in fannish organizing, if there's a list or something that you could point me towards, please.
I will send you an invite.

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.
Love for all your family, Sail, and ~ma for your dad.

Thanks, everyone. He's 93 years old, he's winding down like a clock who's spring has lost all it's tension and the gears are worn smooth. I don't know that anything going on right now is life-threatening, just, he's fading away, things don't work quite right anymore and there isn't really a fix for any of it. I think everything at this point will just be palliative. Or, he could stick around a couple more years being the crotchety old coot he is. But it would have to be in a nursing home, because it's just becoming too much for my brother to deal with.
