Mine as well, please. I haven't spoken to her in a while but I hope she knows we're all here for her.

I left Candace a message on her answering machine. I'll see about calling her again tomorrow.

But I listed each of you by name because I wanted her to know exactly how many people have wished to lend condolences.

Thanks so much, Sarky.

Believe me, I appreciate how many people have offered sympathy.

Kind of makes me feel better knowing Thursday evening was the first time I had spoken to Candace in a few weeks. You have no idea how horrible I felt learning Chuck had passed on the 20th and I, I hadn't spoken to her sooner.

From the times I spoke to Candace, she'd been dealing with Chuck's illness as best she could. He was receiving home care and there were at least a couple of nurses.

I'm thinking maybe I should get her a laptop so she doesn't have a hard time getting to her computer. It's difficult for her because of her foot.

Thank you for listing us all by name, Sarky. And thank you for reaching out to us and to Candace. I'm sure it means a lot to her as well.

I'm sad to hear this news, SK. Whenever you're in touch with her again, please let her know she's in my prayers. And thanks to you for staying in touch with her.

I've been getting comments from the facebook LW page as well after I posted there.

I tried calling Candace today to relate the other messages but I guess she wasn't in and, to be honest, I didn't feel like leaving another message listing more people. It, it just felt like it would lessen the meaning if I kept calling to say "Oh and they left his condolences" over and over again.

I think that's wise, SK. I hope you get to speak with her soon. Thanks for keeping us all updated.

I spoke to Candace on Sunday to wish her a happy Easter, and she said she was feeling sleepy but she otherwise sounded fine.

...

So, I think I'm a hypocrite.

I think I'm just as bad as those 40 year old white guy butthurt fans who complain about "feminazi authors" like Gail Simone or throw hissyfits if someone complains about the size of a girl's breasts or that a character being whitewashed "evens things out" when another character is turned into a POC.

They revealed Wally West in the DCnU today and he's either black or mixed, and I keep thinking, I don't want them to replace him with the original redheaded Wally, but I still want the redheaded Wally back. And I keep thinking of ways to justify it when all I can think about is that I'm such a hypocrite.

The issues that we have to deal with in life are usually more complex than firat glance might suggest.
Having multiple and even opposing thoughts and feelings on an issue doesn't make you a 'hypocrite', imo.
Shades of gray, so to speak.
Try to cut yourself some slack, kiddo.


Thanks again for posting about Chuckie for me, SK.

And thank-you everyone who posted condolences.
Knowing that y'all care helped me alot, especially in the first month when I was so exhausted and raw inside.
Chuck's body adjusted so quickly to the liquid morphin that the doctors could get control of his pain.
It was very hard.
sigh

Thanks again and I hope to post here more in the future and maybe I'll evem tru facebook!

Sarky, what Candle said. There's nothing wrong with wanting the "original" Wally back while at the same time being OK with them changing his ethnicity or look.



It's good to see you, Candle! We're definitely here for you, and if you need any more support just holler. Sarky's been very diligent in keeping us updated about you.

*Sigh* Thanks guys, thanks Candle, it's great to have you back on here.

Though it looks as if the bigger concern would be HOW DC is going to handle Wally's biracial status, because it seems like they're going for something out of a stereotypical white guilt Hallmark movie where the troubled inner city kid is taken under the wing of the upstanding well-employed white guy by the way they've fully introduced Wally as an angry kid from a broken home with missing parents who idolized his criminal uncle well after he became the Reverse Flash and Iris is stepping in and asking Barry to help him by being a role model. This WAS just the first issue and benefit of the doubt is due since I can't judge every other issue, but if the next few issues play out as if it IS a superhero Hallmark movie in the worst way possible...

...

Also, guys, Lash has been dealing with the fact that his grandfather passed away recently.

Thanks for telling us, Sarky. Please give Lash my condolences.

Of course.

I got my cap and gown today.

Congratulations, Sarky.

If anyone is shopping for gifts for the occasion I'd prefer gift cards for fashion.

I wish I could make fashion my ringtone.

...

In all seriousness I don't actually graduate until September. I have that math class in June to complete everything but they're letting me walk on the 29th for the commencement ceremony.

congrats!!! congrats congrats!!!

Guys, I just wanted to say, through everything that's happened the past five years, even though I'm not here are frequently as I used to be, you guys have helped me get through some rough times.

Congrats on the upcoming grad, Sarky!



I'm glad you've been finding some good support here.

Congratulations Sarky!

Congratulations.

I am finally DONE with Spring 2014.

And guess what? I had my final math exam today and it was already graded and posted. I got an 82!

Which means my overall average will either be 81, or if the 65 exam I got is dropped, an 84.

Wonderful! You have conquered mathematics!
