I guess this is a personal update: I hit winter break totally out of reserves and then two of our parents arrived at the last stages of their lives at basically the same time. We've been traveling back and forth and trying to keep everything as normal as possible for our kid, but we are about as much in limbo as you can be (without being a dead Catholic) rn, and of course the News of the World is…dire.

Anyway, I am missing a lot of emails right now, and I am not sure when I will catch up.

@kissane That sounds like ferocious flux. I'm sorry you're going through all of this Erin. Sending you Zoé’s most delightful 4 month old hug.

@kissane Sorry to hear, Erin. Many hugs. Going through a little rollercoaster that's similar with my remaining parent, so I feel that, hard.

@kissane

I'm so sorry. We had pretty much the same with our father late last year. I know how hard and how exhausting it is. I hope they pass easily and that their memories are a blessing.
