Condolences, meara. It's always sudden.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm so sorry, meara.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
My condolences, Meara. And I'd say don't feel bad that you have to do things today. I could picture that, when it happens with my father that I might not know for a while...we're kind of not talking.(We had Divorce Christmas, though, but months go by routinely.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, meara, I'm so sorry.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm sorry, meara.

The status is NOT quo.
I recall marveling at a young age after my dad died that everything just... keeps happening. How weird, but true. And it's kind of a freash realization each time. Couches still need to get delivered, and when you get on the plane is when you get on the plane. Go easy on yourself.This. So much this. I'm sorry, meara

Yeah. I think weirder because I'm home? When my mom died, I was there, at their house, so like, things were kind of on hold for me until I went home, and I had a few days of weird at their house (and fighting with my brother) whereas this time I'm just....at home keeping on keeping on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can see how that would feel extra unreal
