Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

So Mom is lying on the bed next to me. She’s unresponsive, and she’s been disconnected from everything except saline, morphine, and O₂. It’s just a matter of waiting.

I'm sorry, Tom. Whether it's a positive relationship or a negative one or just complicated, losing your mother is heavy and fraught and destabilizing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Love to you, Tom.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You are in my thoughts, Tom. I am sorry.

All my love to you, Tom. Please be good to yourself.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Grace and strength to you, Tom.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh sweet Tom. It’s always sudden.
