Somebody else I know told me they weren't "good at" mourning this week. I'll tell you what I told him: Don't think there's a wrong way(I should add, absent lashing out a lot, or self-injury)

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I literally started my card with "I have no words". And then followed with a few short, far from eloquent sentences.
I have lots of words. Too bad none of them are, I don't know, MAGIC.
I knew I wasn't going to have any adequate words so I sent scratches and light. Literally. Hopefully in a form that was recognizable enough to mean something.
I loved that dress, and was so happy to see Matilda wear it. I don't think I have that photo anywhere I can find it, so if you do, please post it again somewhere and tell me. Not that you need another task right now.
I definitely have lots of baptism pictures, so I'll round some up for you.
As an answer to the perennial "How are you doing?" queries I'll note that David had an instance of "emotional dysregulation" last night.
Fortunately none of the people I was yelling "Fuck!" at were the people in the room, but relatives-in-law at a distance who were trampling boundaries in a stress inducing way.

It's plugged in and lit up in the living room!
Hec, you have earned the right to say fuck as many times as you feel the need to.

That's the safety valve doing it's job.

I cannot honestly imagine being as graceful, eloquent, and loving in such a painful situation as you have been, David.
You wouldn't be human if you didn't, Hec. I get upset over far less than all of that(Although there are, you know, real things, too. But I can't quite pull off being enough of an OG Greta Tunberg to pull off a contention that the climate crisis is what breaks my heart *every day*, but it is often in the mix. )
