Even as I type this, I hesitate to be the one to let some of you know that Loki‘s father passed away quite unexpectedly last night. The news comes as a shock to all of us, and is doubly saddening in light of Loki and Alexis’s upcoming nuptials. In no uncertain terms, this sucks. At this time, it’s important to let George, our fearless entertainer, know he’s loved; better than email, please leave him a message on his blog.
When I heard the news last night, my first instinct was to rush to my parents and hold them tight. We have it in our power to make special and love-filled the people who are still with us. So, here goes:
Dear mom and dad,
I love you. Thanks for giving to me with every breath of the last three decades, expecting nothing in return but my success and good values. If I was an unbearable ass during my teenage years, I am sorry and hope that the daughter you have today is reparation enough. If, in the end, life happens to give me a do-over, I will reselect you, and no other, as parents. Quite simply, you are the best!
Rest in peace, Mr. Williams.
Ouch. Very sad news indeed.
Oh, no. My love to Loki and ‘Lex, and my thanks to you for passing this very sad news to us.
I know this was a difficult post, but I appreciated it very much.
makes me cry :(
lovely post though…
as someone who has lost a parent, they never truly leave you…..
You’ve brought tears to my eyes. Your letter is one I wish I’d written when I still had time. Thank you for being who you are.
Maitri, Humid City seems to be down this morning. I sent him an email. This is such terrible news, particularly cruel.
