It just hit me that at the last F2F I went to (SF!) I had a preschooler, and now I have ... adults. Gulp. Bring on the caftans!
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Always Anti-fascist!
I get the feeling that one won't completely stop, Hec, but it will hurt less. Actual mom has said she expects her own death to be...somewhat stupid, ie, run over by a car full of clowns. "Go ahead and laugh if you need to," she says. "I would. Except for being dead."

Compassionately intolerant
JenP, I 100% said it out loud.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
One of my recurring ones is realizing it's almost the end of the semester and I've forgotten one of the classes I signed up for, never attended a single lecture, and of course it's too late to drop the class and it's going to wreck my GPA and maybe make me flunk out altogether.
And I can't find the Registar’s Office to figure out how to withdraw.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A friend of mine said this on FB recently:
Grief does come in waves. Sometimes the waves just keep rolling, one right after the other and you feel you’re never going to get out of the wave but you hang on; sometimes the waves slow down and may only last for a few seconds but you know you were hit; sometimes you’re feeling good but whoosh you’re hit from behind with a surprise wave and get knocked over again. The waves don’t really go away but somehow you learn to ride the wave.
I thought it was powerful

I have the “I don’t know my schedule or clases or locker” dream about high school more than college.
and said, "Awwww, I was excited to show them to Mama."
Oh so hard

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The waves don’t really go away but somehow you learn to ride the wave.
Jessaaaaah, you have wise friends.

There are so many metaphors, but I did think that was a good one.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Just a little twinge, but there will be so many of those.
Yeah.

I also meant to say:
We’re are struggling in different ways, but it’s easier together.
That's really well put. I'm glad you had that time, msbelle.
