they're giving up and moving to Houston, all of them. My brother will stay in NOLA, though, and I have some extended family, but it's going to be a fight to spend holidays there if the rest of them are bunkered in Texas.
(I don't blame them for moving, but I don't want to spend my holidays in Houston. Nothing against the city, but it's not my home.)

Especially since they were from "da parish". If we get hit this summer again, it's going to change alot of things.
Merry Christmas, ahead of time!

It is a strange kind of pain isn't it? But she gets the oxycodone, damn it!

and this is by far, the most beautiful thing I have read all week.
How to thank you for sharing her with us? I have no idea.

She was quite a gal. And so are you for sending me such lovely and kind words, Pager.

This is so sad. [tears in my eyes]
But you've done a really good deed by writing this beautiful diary, I'm going to call my mother again.
Time is so damn fleeting and we spend so much of it on the most stupid things.
Thank you so much for sharing your remarkable family and mother with us.
