You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Hil, I'm very glad you're doing better. Let that continue, please.

David your note that you're losing (have lost?) touch with who you and Jacqueline were before all the last few months rang a bell. We nursed my dad at home for eight years. And I really couldn't remember the man he had been all my life for a long, long time. It was impossible to mourn that man, and the fact that his death was a welcome release left me unable to mourn that man.

But the memories did come back, and with them a whole storm of loss and mourning. Life is stupid. But somehow we get around to nearly everything before we're done.

Love to you and Matilda and Emmett, and to your sister, her children and her close ones.

Oh no, Hil! What a way to end the year. Glad that you feel better now, and refuah shlema.

Hec, a sea of hugs to you and yours.

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

Hil, I’m so glad you called 911. Please take care of yourself.

Our wings are not tired.

Hil, it is good indeed that you called 911. Whatever follow-up care is suggested, so all the things!

David, what they all said. I was caretaker for Stephen for 18 months, 25 weeks in the hospital at various intervals. I thought I would remember him as frail, but my memories now are all the wonderful times. When I am lucky and he visits in dreams it is always a happy and healthy Stevie.

Hil- I am so glad you called 911. Yikes!

David- I believe what all the people are saying about memories coming back. I am hopeful.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hil, I'm so glad you called 911, and that you're recovering so well! (As an aside, did you go to Anderson Mercy, or a different hospital?)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Omg Hil! Glad you are ok.

David, I hope you go home and rest and take it easy for as long as you need. Thinking of you.

Good on you for calling 911, Hil.

I hope you got a good night's sleep, David, and are feeling the love and support everyone is beaming.

Aw! Their babies will be godlike in their beauty.

Hil, you're the FOURTH friend of mine I've found out was hospitalized with a heart attack or heart failure in the past week! I knew these things get more common as we age, but I didn't expect them to be scheduled all at once.
