Rest In Peace

This morning, my beloved J--cousin and friend extraordinaire--lost her father. He'd fought valiantly against cancer, seen it go into remission and come back. In a so-unlike-her, gravelly, sad voice, she called this morning and said, quite simply, "My daddy passed." And, because, I love her so, all I could say was, "J, J, J."

I can't even imagine.

Update: I'll be traveling out of town today until Sunday for the funeral. I probably won't be able to log on, so I'll see you all soon! I may enable comment moderation until I get back.
