Thank you. I was closer to him than either of my biological grandfathers. What's weird is that I keep thinking how I was glad he got to see the 11th Doctor, but how wrong it is he won't get to learn who River Song really is. Also, about a week before he died, I picked up some genuine Cadbury bars and some McVities digestive biscuits from the international grocery store for him. The Cadbury Crunchie bar I got him was the last food he was actually able to enjoy, per my Dad. And now I'm crying again.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Anne, that's a lovely tribute to him. I'm sorry for your loss.
One of the things my aunt and uncle had long planned to do starting soon was to travel all over. Because of the severity of the cancer's return, all those plans were not to be. So when she referred to looking through all the photos on my computer of the family's travels that afternoon as "We're just on the other side of the world right now" I knew we both got a not so little gift that day. Sometimes, it is just the little stuff.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
msbelle, try RxList -- search for a drug name, and then click on the drug interactions tab.
Anne, I'm so sorry for your loss.
After HKF was born, they had me on some serious cocktail, AND put a phone by my bed.
Oh, I've had some fun talks with Teppy when she was out of her gourd on painkillers. Good times.
"Morphine is THE SHIT!"
Also, I think it was meara who asked me, when I drug-dialed her, "Are you using a cell phone IN THE HOSPITAL?!? Is someone going to die?" (This was 2003, when there was still big fear that cell phone use could cause the machine that goes Ping! to, I don't know, stop working and no longer go Ping!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Anne, I'm so sorry. Much commiseration.
