Oh, Susan, that's staggeringly hard to find out suddenly. I'm so sorry. But I'm glad you can enjoy memories of him.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

This too shall pass.
I am so very sorry, Susan. I hope that you can get some comfort from your happy memories. That is a lot to take in for sure.

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home
Thanks, y'all. It's a lot to take in. I almost didn't pick up the phone when it rang, because I was so sure it was yet another person wanting me to donate to some campaign or other, but I did just in case when I saw the Alabama area code. It was my nephew, D's son, and when he told me D had passed I was so SURE he was going to say it was covid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh Susan, I'm so sorry.

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

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Susan, I'm so sorry. That's so much to deal with.

Oh Susan -- I'm so sorry!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm so sorry, Susan. That's awful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Susan, I'm so sorry.
