Oh Kate, I'm so sorry. Much love to you and your family.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

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.
Hugs for you and your family, Kate.

The status is NOT quo.
Kate, I'm so incredibly sorry to hear this terrible news. I'm so glad you had that trip this summer. I know it isn't enough — it's never enough — but I'm glad you at least had that. My love to you and yours.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Kate P., wow, that’s hard. I don’t know the right words. We’re here for you however and whenever you need us.

We had a surprise mini family reunion yesterday; two sets of my aunts and uncles (from Kentucky and Texas) happened to be in town at the same time so we and my aunt who still lives in my hometown all met for lunch. We probably annoyed everyone around us with all the hugging and picture taking, but it was great to see them all.
Today will be less fun, as I have a tooth cleaning and then prospective buyers coming by to look at my apartment.

Goodness, Kate, that's horrible news. I'm so sorry.
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes, Laura. I had a very nice day in terms of my birthday, though not so great in other respects, as coincidentally yesterday I received a rejection for a position I was fairly certain I had got. This is the third job in a row I've lost to people who have prior connections to the post. It's all a bit dispiriting. Still, on we go.

Anyone annoyed with hugging and family joy needs to be annoyed. Lovely that you had this nice family time.
DH left very early this morning to head to FL and I will head out very early tomorrow morning. It just didn't work out to leave at the same time. I'll probably arrive Saturday evening, unless I decide to be lazy and take 3 days instead of 2 and maybe even visit someone along the NY-FL corridor. I'm both excited to get home, and not looking forward to 2 15 hour long driving days. It is probably just as draining to drive 3 10 hour days, but I'll decide later depending on how tired I am.
