{{Amy}} Many kind thoughts for you, your brother and your family. Between his friends and your grandmother that is an awful lot to have to assimilate. I think peach cobbler is definitely called for, in mass quantities.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amy, yes about the peaches. That is so much for a Saturday, for you and your loved ones.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What a hard day, Amy. I hope your grandmother goes peacefully and quickly now that everyone has had a chance to say goodbye. I wish you some calm and peace, as well. An awful day.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Wow, Amy, I'm so sorry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Happy Birthday Scrappy!

Oh, Amy, I'm so sorry. That's so awful.

Because books.
Thanks so much, everybody. It really helps to have a safe place to just come and dump it all out.
My mom's staying at the nursing home -- I don't think Mimi is lucid in any way, and neither does my mom, but she's an only child, and one of Mimi's great fears has always been being alone. I offered to go sit with her, but I can't even get in anymore -- the front doors are locked to entrance now.
Sleep now, and then we see what tomorrow brings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Amy. What a hard time.
And then I think about everyone my grandmother knew aside from my mom and dad and us kids is already dead.
My grandmother talks about that, and it's got to suck. Note to self: Die in middle of peer group?
