{{{Epic}}} tons of ~ma headed your way. I’m so sorry.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
{{{sj}}} That space, that being-present bearing-withness feels both unbearable and like it is the only truly important thing happening anywhere in the universe.
Holding all the Buffistas in my heart right now and making extra space in the blanket fort for everyone and all our beloveds and all our good therapists and caregivers.

I'm not sj, but this is so very well put, JZ. Thank you.
