{{{Epic}}} I’m sorry the news is not what we hoped for, but glad you’ve got such a solid sounding plan.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Oh Epic that sucks so bad. But I really hope a year from now it’ll all be in the rear view

Our wings are not tired.
Epic, I'm sorry that you are facing an intensely challenging year, but it sounds like you have a solid plan. Sending all manner of strength and endurance ~ma in your direction.

I’m taking TCG to see Papa today while ltc is at school. He hasn’t seen him since Easter because of a busy work schedule.

Oh, my poor Buffistae.
I'm sorry, Epic. Wrapping you up in all the -ma.
I'm sorry, sj. I remember this space well with my mother's passing. It's so important to be present with them when you can, and you're doing just that.
Hope Toddson is feeling better too.

Ugh. Got an email this morning that one of Emmett's teammates on his all-star/tournament team (back when he was 11) died in a ski accident this weekend. Only 25. His whole family were ardent, ranked, competitive skiers.

{{{Epic}}} so much love and ~ma to you. I'm sorry.
And {{{sj}}}, too.
I'm very sorry to hear about Emmett's teammate, David.

And in another post:
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.
Yay therapy, indeed! Mine is currently in a stage where my therapist keeps repeating "that sounds very difficult" over and over until I'm willing to stop sugar-coat/find a silver lining/deny that some things were, perhaps, maybe, if one insists, difficult.
We're both resilient, but there's progress.
