Here's a sparkly pony →[More:]

I sincerely hope that works... I've been battling the flickr mobile app for the last half hour to get that from my phone into MeCha

I apologise for some melodrama, but the mister and I could desperately use some hugs, whuffles, bunnies, cats-in-boxes, or whatever you've got. I got you a shiny, sparkly pony, if that link works.

Mr lfr's dad, a strappingly healthy 63-year-old who rode bikes and hiked everyday, is in Neuro Intensive Care tonight, and it doesn't look good. He's had a series of strokes.

I send my best wishes to everyone out there. Please hug your loved ones for me.

Thanks,

lfr

Oh my gosh. . . .

My best wishes to your partner and his dad and all the people in your life.

*hug*

Oh, lfr, I'm so sorry to hear it. Sending whuffles and good thoughts your way. Take good care of yourself, and of each other.

Here is the requested cat in a box. Also, here [*hug*] is a hug.

Aww lfr, that's awful. I'll be thinking of you and all of your family.

Yikes. I'm really sorry to hear that. Take care - I'll be thinking of you and your family.

Thanks, everyone. Elsa, I adore Maru, and the mister had never seen that one and he lol'ed, which is better than despair. I told him there were a bunch of people on the Internet who wish his dad the best. You guys are awesome.

Ach. Sorry to hear that. 63 is much too young.

lfr, is your partner's Dad at UCLA Medical Center? I'm here with my 63yo brother who has had a stroke caused by metastatic cancer. He has rebounded well physically, and his verbal skills are better every day. Long-term, not so good, but if he can have a few more good months, or even weeks, with his family, that would be welcome. I'm sending you some good thoughts and prayers.
