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.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I fell asleep early but woke up to this. I can't sleep either. I keep hoping Ginger was or is able to see Mr Peabody to say goodbye, which I realize is a little crazy, but it keeps making me cry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Zen, thank you so much for being our go-between this week. And I hope some loving secure home becomes apparent for Mr. Peabody.
Just so you know now, I love you all. Fiercely, in spite of differences and those irritating little habits all of you have (which I, of course, have none). Nothing changes that.
That goes for you too, Ginger, and it always will.
The rest of you, one thing Ginger said during a discussion of life and awfulness and getting on with things, I think speaks to her character and set of mind. "Pull up your socks."
So, whatever comes, Ginger would want us all to pull up our socks.
