I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What Consuela said

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Consuela said everything I was thinking.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I ululated while listening to Welcome to the Black Parade, driving across Lake Pontchartrain, at sunset.

Fist pump of appreciation!

Turns out my MiL storming out in a rage was the best thing that has happened to me in months.

Because, JZ's bestie Lisa came in and the mood shifted, and the Sacred Circle of Loving Women started drinking and crying and laughing and wearing Jacqueline's hats and...it's what we needed. It's what Matilda needed especially.

Which would not have happened with Sunny here.

I'll share pictures but just on the Buffistas group because my MiL must never see people laughing.

Oh love. I’m glad you have them.

So much of my love, my sorrow - all my emotions - is with you right now.

I read more than a hunderd messages all at once, so I was grateful to get to the end and see that the last post has laughter in it, and Matilda surrounded by that affection and tears and laughter, letting her just feel what she feels and know that it's OK.

No, it's more than OK. In that same post with the ululating, JZ wrote that laughter through the mandatory tears is encouraged.

Well, ululating here is associated with expressions of happiness, and I anyway can't do it, so I'll laugh through my tears as best I can.

Also, what Suela said.

[Edit: also, I'm here through all of your night, thanks to the different timezones. If there's anything I can do while the world around you is sleeping, please let me know.]

Ice packs with the ululating recommended. Because.

That is so good to hear. I'm so happy that Lisa was able to help shift the mood & that you & Matilda got what you needed.

Hi, sarameg! It never fails to be good to see you, even just the words-on-a-screen you.
