Ugh. I hate this. JZ is our most gentle soul, always there with a kind, loving word, able to see the beauty, humor , and best side of everything (including people). It's just not fair.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Seriously, don't know anyone whose family blended that completely. Yeah, Vortex, I agree.

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks everyone for the offer to contribute to something for the nurses. I don't have bandwidth to gather funds, and wanted to get something done before JZ was released from the hospital. So I had a whole bunch of goodies from a local SF bakeshop delivered.
I ordered a Party Platter variety, a chocolate Cruffle Truffle Retro Gift Box, a Cupcake Party Box and a dozen Cruffles from Sift Dessert Bar. There was a slight snafu with the delivery in that neither Hec nor I knew that the hospital wouldn't allow deliveries, leaving the poor delivery guy calling me here in Massachusetts.... But thankfully Hec was able to meet up with him in the lobby. Whew!!
The message I sent for the nurses: "Thank you to all of the staff who are taking such excellent care of our dear friend Jacqueline Smay. As you probably know by now, she’s a very special person who’s been an incredible part of so many lives. On behalf of her friends and family far and wide, here are some treats to acknowledge our deep appreciation for all you’ve done to provide her comfort.”
I need no reimbursement. So for me, for this particular delivery, if you want to contribute, send the money to your favorite charity. (Or maybe JZ's favorite!!)

That was lovely of you, javachik, thank you. And beautifully expressed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, javachik.

Of course! I remember how happy the nurses were when I ordered a dozen pizzas for the staff taking care of the late boyfriend.
And best yet, Hec got to hand them right to badass nurse Renee!

(hugs to everyone)
Beautifully written, javachik, and generous & kind. What is JZ's favorite charity? Or, contribute to a 529 college fund for Matilda? (ever for the practical am I).

Good question - I suspect when Hec is done meeting hospice today, he can let us know. Poor guy had to interrupt his discussion with the hospice in order to meet the baked goods delivery guy smh.
