I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm so sorry to hear your news amyth. Much strength to you and your family.
Home, finally. Back to routine.

Amyth, I'm just SO sorry. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you all. {{hugs}}
Emmett wants Meyer lemons! Awesome.
David, I'm more than happy to share the recipe for the apple cake, or you could just search the Chron archives: I got it there about ten years ago although TBH I have modified it a bit since. Yesterday I thought the grannies were too sweet so I grated about an inch of frozen ginger into the mix. I'll do that again next time, and maybe add more.
Anyway, it's the easiest, most reliable, and most forgiving cake recipe I know, and has the added benefit of being lactose-free, which makes it perfect for large functions. (There's probably a way to make it vegan although I've never tried.)

Also? Yummy.
Why am I awake? I have to get up in a few hours for travelfest. Want to be asleep right now. Instead I'm watching my daughter sleep.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Amyth, hugs and hugs for you, ease and peace for your SiL, and sympathies for the rest of your family.
This is the way it was with my mom, and it's wonderfully peaceful for the patient. Not so terrible for the watchers, either, no pain. But the waiting is difficult. More hugs.

Thinking of you and your family, amyth. Thanks for the update, even if the news isn't good, it's something that may help to share!

Timelies all!
