Sarcasm first...then the serious stuff

[candyland]

Okay. This seems like a no-brainer to me, but...if it's something that comes as a huge surprise to the reader, it should probably be considered a spoiler. Ergo, you should not come online and start blabbing it to someone without checking to see if they wish to know this spoiler.

So...thanks. I really wasn't interested in reading xxxHolic and discovering any plot-twists for myself anyway. No, really. Thanks bunches. Honest. I appreciate it. And you're totally right: if you don't know how it will affect the plot, then it's not a spoiler. It's just random trivia. Makes perfect sense to me.

Now pardon me while I empty this bucket. It seems to have filled with dripping sarcasm.

*sigh* I'm probably being too sensitive because...well...Mom got the call around four this afternoon. He's gone. My aunt and uncle (who live in that part of the state) are meeting with the funeral director tomorrow. Tentative plan is that we'll go up there on Sunday, and come back after the service on Monday. We'll see what happens. In the meantime...I think I need to sleep.

My sincere sympathies; hold fast to the good memories you have of him, okay? It's the best memorial you can create to those who leave you behind and move on.

*hugs* Dunno what to say, really... I ahh lost my Grandpa when I was 7, so... at least you had him as long as you did, right?

**hugs.** I'm so sorry. It's always so hard to lose a dear loved one. **will be praying for you and your family.**

And blurgh @ being spoiled. -___-; That is really frustrating when it happens.

If you want to talk to someone and I'm not online, email me, all right?

Give my sympathy to your family. I know it's hard to lose someone.
Wish you all well. Take care Candy-chan.

I'm sorry about your grandpa. :(

-hugs you- I'm sorry for your loss.

Except, that sounds really clichéd.

But, I am. I know we don't talk often, but if you do...well, the first person you would talk to wouldn't be me, but...yeah. I'm open if you want. OTL

-hugs you again tight tight tight- Please feel better!

..and this is what I get for not filtering my excessive flist until today.

oh, sweetheart. ♥

I know that electronic hearts and black pixels doesn't really make up for it- but he'll always be alive if you remember him.

I'm always bad at these kind of things, but *hugs!* I want to say that he still lives in one form or another, but then I'd shoot into a long babble about reincarnation and that's just insensitive x(;

I hope you feel better. He's a blessed and happy man to have known you.
