Compassionately intolerant

I echo Laura.

I should be in bed, but I'm compelled to sit here with you all.

Ginger was so matter of fact, and 100% spot on, with every solution or bit of advice she ever offered.

There were a couple of times when I asked a question about something or other, that she quietly and without fanfare just solved the problem.

Just did it.

No expectation of thanks. Just a job well done.

Such a gift in so many ways.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ginger sent me that gorgeous tea dragon art print after ltc was born. Why didn't I take a picture of the baby with it and send it to her?

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Just saw. Oh damn. I was holding out just the tiniest bit of hope.

Thank you so much, Zen, for being with her this past week. I know it meant a lot to her, and it did to us. And for keeping us posted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't want to turn off the computer. I hate this. And I love all of you.

Yes.

I can't go to sleep either.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Dear Ginger, feel love and warmth surrounding you. Pardon our tears - they are perhaps not for you as much as they are for ourselves. We will do our best to be kind to one another, spreading your gifts of compassion blended full well with useful knowledge from both experience and learning.

That's lovely windsparrow. And yes, yes. Love you Ginger, one of my favorite Buffistas ever. Love your spicy brain. Love all of you.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Ginger was the first to reach out to me when we got mom's diagnosis. Now Mom is past her five year milestone and cancer free. I want to thank Ginger for being there for me and feel like anything I said to her was grossly inadequate thanks.

I've had shitty years but this is a shitpocalypse year.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Can't sleep, either. I was genuinely surprised it's as late as it is.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, Matt, you're right. And I do have to say, my experience with hospice is that that's exactly what they're there for.
