I mentioned a few days ago that my dad was under hospice care. He died this morning and we're all just very glad he's finally at peace.

MM-related ... burials are expensive, dude. He wanted to be in a mausoleum so my mom, two siblings and I went to pick one today. The first one they showed us was $40k. Ho-lee shit. And we didn't even talk to the funeral home yet. My brother suggested that he, our sister and I start putting away $20 each every week or so into an account to be prepared for when we have to do this for our mom, which I thought was smart.

Tons of people showed up with food, and some people just had food delivered. Which was incredibly generous, but my Mom's got more than she knows what to do with, and we're betting there will be more in the coming days. So if you want to help out a friend who has lost someone, maybe call ahead to see if they have anything already. Or bring something a little atypical, like disposable plates or soda/water/beer.

MH has been so incredibly awesome through all of this. He helped with so many things when the rest of us were just too tired and sad to think straight. My mom practically tackled him to the ground with a hug when we left their house today.

In honor of my dad, go have some burgers and beers with the people you love best. Take your dog for a long walk. Go on a road trip to nowhere in particular. Don't take your job too seriously. Watch this video and laugh: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGeKSiCQkPw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I'm sorry for you loss. You seem to be an incredibly strong person. Hang in there.

So sorry for your loss. I admire your attitude and imagine your dad does, too. I hope everyone follows your suggestion.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My family was in a similar situation years ago and we will always be grateful to hospice for their amazing work. Your family sounds very sweet and I wish you all comfort during this sad time. (((hugs)))
