Heartbroken to hear the news. Mr. Robot's wise words, kindness, and reason have been a blessing to many here. Most certainly for me. I have a ton of respect for Robby and I wish both of you all the best during this tough time.

The next two nights should be pretty active with up to 100 meteors an hour raining down from the heavens.
Plenty of falling stars to wish upon. And something neat to see.
If I didn't have much time left, I'd want to see something like that.
I don't think he is up to climbing an active volcano right now...

It was lovely.
Since I had cruised before and this was Robby's first time, I went all out and booked a suite at the very front of the ship. Our balcony ran along the side to the bow. Many nights we would lay out on the double deck chair and watch shooting stars together. We made wishes and promises and plans for our old age.
Now I have a German nurse in the living room named Ubby who wants to show me pictures of his grandkids on his phone and another named Maxi coming at 7 in the morning as Ubby leaves at 6. He brought his dinner of butter milk and hard boiled eggs and is happily enjoying the 50" plasma while I am trying to keep my sanity in the guest room where Robby has found he prefers the (queen) mattress. Fine, except he's sprawled on it like its our king! And for this we pay $48. An hour? Oy Vey!
Called the funeral home up the street to ask them to have someone come to the house to "discuss". Bev is coming tomorrow at 2. She most likely won't be happy to hear that there will be no funeral and that a simple cremation is what we are after. I've already found a wooden urn on line that has a compass etched on it. Perfect.
Robby will go on a subcutaneous Dilaudid tomorrow so he will have pain killers steadily pumping into him. The doctor has also ordered a sedative for the case of further bleeding so Rob won't feel panicked if he has an episode. We feel well taken care of.
And coming on here and reading such loving, thoughtful posts about us is so very, very dear to us. (I read them to Robby). We thank you so much!
You are the best family we could ever have asked for.
❤️

(((Melissa and Robby))) This is the first thread I found and I kept coming back to find before I joined SR. What I read here made me know I had found the right place to land.
My heart breaks for you

Oh, I'm sorry...did I leave you all with the impression that Ubby was just sitting around watching our TV? Correct that: Ubby, that rhymes with Booby, is stretched out the length of our couch with his mouth open, snoring like a ***&ing freight train! On our dime!
And now he's shown me his grandkids I can't turn him in; he's probably the only one in the family not on the government dole.
How's that for "grace" and " generosity"?

Cow,
I had a roommate in college who had a keychain with a very dated photo in its plastic frame. She confided in me that she told everyone it was her dead mother,
But actually it came with the keychain. How's that for fake?

I'm so sorry to hear of this. I have not been here for awhile. Robby and I butted heads on many occasions but shared a mutual respect. I'm very glad to read that he is not in pain and they are making sure to keep him comfortable.

Doesn't Ubby realize he's in the presence of two incredible people?!?! If he only knew the impact y'all have had on so very many lives he might sit up and take notice!
Gentle hugs and good thoughts coming y'alls way.
