I'm so sorry, Consuela. Sending love to you and your family.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am thinking of you and your family, Consuela. I hope for strength and courage for all of you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Consuela, I'm so sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, Consuela. All the love.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Consuela.

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.
I'm sorry, Consuela. It's just hard.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Thank you all. It's been kind of hard, but it so much less awful than Mom's last few months. I'm still able to sleep and manage the rest of my life.
It sucks. Dad's a great human being, a role model for an honest and ethical life, and we will all miss him. But I also don't feel like we got cheated out of time with him. And he's not in pain, not upset, not afraid or angry. It could be so much worse.
{{hugs you all}}
