Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Agreed, lisah. It's been feeling like a vigil and I hope it is supportive for you, David.

Oh, it has been. Just writing the little tributes to her on FB feels good. All helping me move through this.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I’m glad we can be here for you, David. You and yours are never far from my thoughts.

hip deep in pie

My dad passed from kidney failure and he drifted peacefully away. I pray for the same peaceful passing for JZ.

Thinking of all the Zmayhems.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I was hoping against hope that JZ would have a different outcome than my uncle, but it’s been eerily the same once treatment stopped for the both of them. It’s so hard to watch them fade away when they were so vibrant before.

Thank you for sharing these moments with us, David. I hope you are feeling the love that surrounds you, JZ, and your families.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

So weird to be hoping for a friend to leave us as soon as her body allows. I have been having morbid humor "ascend already!" thoughts for a week or so, and feeling guilty (but also like she'd be amused) right after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, man, I just got hit with the memory of JZ's solitary vigil with her father. Good thing I am WFH today. But I am so honored to be able to virtually do this little service for her that she cannot repay. I don't know why that's the thing that is setting off the tears but it is.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm still pissed that she won't get to see any more Our Flag Means Death. It's a stupid, small, heartbreaking thing.

Yes, when I saw news about the next season it made me so sad

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm still pissed that she won't get to see any more Our Flag Means Death. It's a stupid, small, heartbreaking thing.

When I saw the first S2 pictures the other day (last week?), I was so furious that she won't get to see it.
