Quick update

[alexxkay]

Mom died at 10:10 this morning, while dad was at church. I spent several hours with him today, helping clean house, and comfort him as best I was able. I'm glad it's finally over. Dad's pretty devastated right now, but I trust he will pull through.

There will be no funeral, but will be a memorial service at some point. Dad's thinking of putting it off until September-ish, so that more of her friends from the breast cancer list can be there. More details when I have them.

Thnaks to everyone who's offered emotional support to me during this time.

I'm sorry that she's gone. In time, it will be less painful.

I fucked up. When I saw you last night, I wanted to say something, but it felt funny in front of Rick and Zohane. Yes, I know they both know, but the conversation was light and glib, and I didn't want to dampen their spirits (or yours). I should have let you know then, you and your mom have been in my thoughts quite a bit lately, and I hadn't yet figured out a good way to tell you. I'm still quite a "guy" in some ways. I'm telling you now. I'm very sorry for your loss, and I hope this time of sadness quickly gives way to a time of beloved memories.

I'm happy that she's not suffering anymore, but I'm so sorry that she's gone. My deepest sympathies to you and Russ.

Bits of her love live still, not only in you and your father...

In Will's bed at his dad's house still is coiled the long snake your mother made for him when he was born. He sleeps with it, still, though the bell in the tail has long gone silent, and the head has been flattened from much baby pressing.

My tears and sympathy to you and your father and the many people who miss her.

I'm very sorry to hear this. I had no idea when I talked to you on Satruday it would be so soon. I hope that she suffered as little as possible and that you are able to find comfort in your friends.

*hugs* I often think back on Kitchencons of yore with fond memories.

I fucked up.

I do not think so. (And you know I'm not slow to tell you when I *do* think so :-)

I didn't want to dampen their spirits (or yours).

A perfectly good call. I may write more on this topic anon...
