Yes, James is on the list of people we love. When we watch the news, or see hateful people in our lives. it is important to remember that our lives include morally elegant people too! I am grateful for all of you.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Morally elegant!
In particular I also want to echo the words of Kate and Laura.

I’m so glad your Dad has James, Pix!!!! What a blessing.
My Dad is in in-patient rehab and is doing better physically but he’s confused and wants to come home/doesn’t want my mom to leave. It’s hard on both of them but I’m glad she’s getting a break from being his main caregiver.

Lisah! Happy birthday! I hope you are being spoiled today. May the year to come be a most excellent one. I hope the rehab stay helps both of your parents.

Pix, I've been thinking about you and your dad; I'm so glad James is there for you all.

That sounds like such a boon, Kristin. Glad your dad has James to watch over him.

Been reading everyone’s lovely words and so happy to be a newbie in this community. (Yes, nearly 20 years later I still feel like a newbie.)
I’m more inclined to text or call directly to many of you to whom I would otherwise comment here (I’m looking at you, Pix!), so I’m usually pretty quiet.
But I wanted to say “Welcome to the world, Arthur!” Hope by now you’re at home and “relaxing” like a normal infant does! Congrats on the growing family, Debet.
I’m sorry about your aunt, Askye.

Didn’t mean to double post!
So I’ll add that I love “morally elegant” as it’s very fitting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I know saying that someone is a "true" Christian is kind of a cliche, but JZ is. Kind and caring, passionate about injustice, and the absolute best heart.

That sounds like such a boon, Kristin. Glad your dad has James to watch over him.What a boon, indeed. And a mutually beneficial one all around. Wonderful!
I know saying that someone is a "true" Christian is kind of a cliche, but JZ is.I am not of that tribe, but I did work in a Christian church for about 10 years and it is always such a delight to find those who live the principles they cleave to. JZ is a stellar example.
