That's the end of this blog.  I have a new blog here.


To those who don't know the history, this is not the story of Liam's life - just the last year of her life. The rest of her mostly joyful [but not always] life and her extra-special personality is not yet documented - except for what's in our hearts.

Tears

 

 

No more visits, please

Dear friends,


We wish for no more visits at this time.  We appreciate all the support and love everybody poured on us.  We need some time to be alone.


("Alone?" asked Toad, "why does Frog want to be alone?  He has me for a friend.")

Types

My Spin For Kids campaign. Thank you.


Please respect visiting hours. Thanks.


Types of tears

• Decision making tears.
  
• Signing papers tears.
• Announcement tears.
• Reading email tears.
• Hugging tears.  (No really, stop hugging me!!!)
• Thoughts about others' tears.
• Thoughts about Meitav tears.
• Memory tears.
• Nurses (that we love and will never forget) tears (shouldn't they be  strong, immune to that kind of stuff)?
• Unexplained and uninvited tears - especially when you're driving or in the middle of a work meeting.

The most difficult thing is...

• Not death itself, but deciding on it for somebody else - somebody you love. someone who's part of your own self.
• Not death itself, but waiting for it.
• To look into Liam's open, wondering, curious, beautiful eyes - after the decision was made - asking what's going on.
• To feel her little hand squeeze my finger. 
• To know, yes know, that she doesn't want to go, but she doesn't have the strength to stay.  That's also another type of tears.
  

What's easy?

• To crawl into Liam's bed, to hug her, to feel her warm skin.

What's hard?

• To crawl into Liam's bed, to hug her, to feel her warm skin.  (No, that's not a typo.)

Liam Visiting Hours

My Spin For Kids campaign. Thank you.

Dear all,
We have farmed out visiting hours for people to say goodbye to Liam.   Please help us through this tough period by adhering to the rules:

• Visiting hours are 4-6 PM.
• It's strongly advised to still call BEFORE you come.  Call Rudra, 404 957 7402.
• Please come in to say goodbye for 5-10 minutes only.  You're all welcome to sit outside on the porch longer than that, of course.

As this is an extremely stressful and sensitive period, please be aware that we may ask you to leave at any time - due to our own family needs.  Please understand it and don't take offense.

If you can delay your visit until after Liam's transition, that may help us.

Thanks.

The family.
