'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"

I'm afraid I should be discreet on Facebook because maybe not everyone in my family knows yet, but my cousin David (one of two living cousins) died yesterday in a weird accident. He dropped something sharp on his foot, cut open a big blood vessel and bled out before the ambulance arrived. He was only 65, in good shape & healthy except for asthma and a bum knee, from long-lived stock and we all expected he'd be going well into his 80s, as I supposed he expected as well.

I'm especially upset for my cousin, who lost her mom, my beloved Aunt, two years ago, and is coping with her father's Alzheimer's as well as the deterioration of her difficult in-laws.

I'll copy this over to Facebook later, but I just wanted to get it out somewhere before I bust.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh no Theo - that is awful.

Our wings are not tired.

I am so sorry, Theodosia! What a shock for all involved. Loss sucks whether it is the sudden shocking kind or the slowly anticipated variety. Thoughts of comfort for all.

I am so sorry, Theodosia. I am keeping your family in my thoughts.

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

Oh no, Theo. I'm so sorry!

Theo, how awful! I'm so sorry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry, Theo.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How horrible. I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Theo, I'm so sorry.
