Hopalong:
What an impressive man!
I'm very sorry for your sister-in-law's loss of her father.
He sounds like an amazing, richly storied character.
I'm sorry you're feeling that loss personally, too.
hugs
Hops

Thanks, Hops.
It's the end of an era.

Sister and family telling Nona about Nono's death now. She said it feels like killing kittens... so so sad. No screaming. Just sad crying and being held by many loved ones.
Nona has a little chest rattle and fever so doc making a house call. It's impossible to imagine these moments in a time of strict social distancing..... hands-on comfort and expressions of care seem vital.
For me, times like these are confusing. Puzzling logistics leaves me exhausted and feeling defeated. Normal solutions are problematic and perhaps deadly.
My elderly neighbor left his father in an Ohio hospice. I haven't called to check on those neighbors yet. I'm afraid words of comfort will fail. I'm afraid I won't have any words of comfort, but I can listen.
That's likely better than any words or platitudes I might otherwise offer.
They aren't alone.

Oh, Lighter, I'm so sorry to read this. It's such a sad time and so difficult to 'carry on as normal' when such tragedy occurs. I don't think it's the words that comfort, I think it's the fact that people care enough to offer them? And I do think sometimes a nice card that can be read over and over can help. I'm sorry you've lost Nono and for the elderly chap in the hospice. Sending much love xx xx

Thank you, Tupp.
