On Vox: Saying good bye.

Jun 23, 2008 23:18


Tonight was the second time in my life that I have had to go to the hospital to say good bye to someone.

It was NOT easier for having done it before.

My godmother Ursula has not been well for some time.  In fact, she was too sick to come to my wedding back in March.  To my regret and to my shame, however, I have not seen her since then.  Some part ( Read more... )

...damn.

Deepest sympathies to you and Ursula, and a ton of hope for your dad.

We're home this weekend; if you and/or Teh Geek want company - for listening, for distracting, whatever - give us a call, okay? Seriously. I'm hesitant to call you, because you have a lot bigger things going on, and I want to help, not get in the way.

*sad eyes* I am so sorry for this pain in your life and don't know what to do except give you hugs and echo what telerib said -- if you and/or Sarah want company, or want to come over and play our Wii (which is made of AWESOME, lemme tell ya), just ask -- I'll be home Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Sorry for your godmother. While you may be hurting that her body is holding on, it's kind of a way that some people have of just continuing the cussedness that kept them alive and kicking into old age. My grandmother was the same way. If Ursula wasn't who and what she was, she wouldn't be quite so dear to you.

Wish I'd had the chance to meet her.

Good thoughts for your dad, who is one of the most charming rogues I've ever met, after you. :-)

No more cliches from me, except to say that losing people too soon is always hard no matter how or when it happens. I've been there - lost my brother, my mom, and Johan long before they should have gone. My heart goes out to you.
