and then I remembered she’s dead and dad can’t go shopping even if he was the sort who did, and I cried….in the dream. I woke up sad but not crying. Life is dumb sometimes.
Oof. Mortality is a stupid idea.

I don't know. Some people do our best work with a deadline. It might be nice, though, if people knew they could what they wanted with say 85 years. and if there wasn't so much time wasted on, like, tax returns and gingivitis. Zooms and credential theater.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Much love, Nora!

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

Our wings are not tired
So much love to you Nora. Losing a parent is a very particular sort of loss.

Nora, my condolences.
I've skipped, I'm sorry, so general good vibes and ~ma and hugs-to-those-who-like-them and timelies all around.
(We're still OK. I still can only take the news in extremely small doses at a time, or the very thin I'm-OK outer-shell might shatter. I'm still grateful for this place, and hope that as much as possible is well for each and every one of you. I'm still OK.)

(Just to say that I'm still OK as possible here too. Just not sure what to write anymore. It's all just heartbreaking. Unfortunately I started to be able to read more about Oct. 7th and the war at times, which means I'm usually up until 2am these days, trying to make some sense out of it. I can't, but a part of me is still trying to understand).
