My condolences to you and your family, meara.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Thanks y’all. A few hours later, it still feels weird and also unreal. But then my mom passed two years ago and that still feels unreal sometimes (because I hadn’t lived in the same timezone as her in like 20 years so…surely I just haven’t called recently?)

Our wings are not tired.
You were your father's daughter your entire life, this is a couple of days. You'll do the things you need to do and all the decisions you make are the correct ones.
Very true. I'm so sorry, meara.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{meara}}} It is super weird that the world just keeps happening

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Condolences, meara. It's always sudden.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm so sorry, meara.

My condolences, Meara. And I'd say don't feel bad that you have to do things today. I could picture that, when it happens with my father that I might not know for a while...we're kind of not talking.(We had Divorce Christmas, though, but months go by routinely.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, meara, I'm so sorry.
