Separately, sj, I just wanted to say we're thinking of you. It is so weighty and sad.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Yay, Robin!
Askye, continued ~ma headed your way.
Papa is being moved to hospice sometime today. I’m sitting with him now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Apparently therapy is really working and some of the inner child, inner parent, inner adult stuff my therapist has been using that I didn't really buy into at the beginning actually works.
That's terrific!
Thinking of you today, sj. Much love to you and Papa and your whole family. I hope the hospice is a comforting experience for you all.
Good news, Cashmere! Yay for Robin!
Severance reminded me MOST of Brazil, but I can see your comparisons, Hec.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thinking of you, sj.

I just want him to not be in so much pain. They’ll be able to manage that better there.

Oh sj. I will say with my dad the move to hospice was a relief and a blessing. Which feels weird to say but you all get what I mean. It was a relief to be able to focus on caring about him rather than all the constant frictions and fights and disturbances of the hospital. It’s a terribly sad place to come to nevertheless. You’re in my heart today.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The idea of hospice is scary, but the implementation was so helpful for my mom (and for Dad, who was her primary caretaker at that point). I hope your Papa has a quick, safe transition there, sj.

Thank you. It’s mainly been mom and stepdad caring for him at his apartment and it’s too much. I’m home now. He is safely at the hospice facility and TCG and I will visit him there after we take ltc to school in the morning. Papa had a really rough afternoon and in many ways I feel like I’ve already lost him.

Our wings are not tired.
The people that work in hospice care are in my experience incredibly compassionate and helpful. Sending all my love and wishes for comfort for all.
