Roy is gone
My brother Roy has passed away. (Funny, how I consciously use euphemisms. I think they're silly, but it sounds too crude to simply say it.)
They turned off life support at about 6:30 Virginia time and he died peacefully shortly afterwards. They're having a memorial service tomorrow and then he's going to be cremated according to his wishes and his ashes will be scattered over the Great Smokey Mountain Cherokee country.
It's very weird, but I was shocked when I heard. I thought they'd turned off the ventilator a day earlier than they had planned, but it seems I've simply lost Thursday. I could swear it's early Friday morning now, but everywhere I look it turns out to be Saturday. I was even sitting outside the county library at 8:30 wondering why on earth they closed early.
This is absolutely the most disoriented I've ever been! I suppose that if the computer says it's Saturday and Di says it's Saturday and Roy's dead, then it must be Saturday. I do wish I knew whatever became of Thursday, though.
