Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How horrible, Maria. So devastating. My thoughts are with you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am so sorry, Maria. You and your husband are in my prayers. I'm glad you have your parents there and you don't have to bear this alone. And if you ever feel like you just need to flee for a while, please consider ours one of what I'm positive is a veritable army of couches and guest beds and open arms waiting to hug you and pour you drinks and give you space, quiet, distraction, whatever you need. Anything. Oh, dear heart.

Pretty much what JZ said, Maria. Love you, sweetness.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, Maria. I'm so very sorry. Much love and peace to you.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank you all so much.
