some have gone and some remain
Unlike last time, as soon as the mayor announced that the NYC schools were going to be closed today for the storm, the bosses announced that we also would be closed. So I was excited to get to sleep in without an alarm/having to check to see if we were open.
I woke up at about 8:45 and about an hour later, my brother called to let me know that dad died this morning. They said it was peaceful. Which. I guess is what you want.
While he had a lot of battles to fight, he seemed pretty lively on Sunday afternoon when I saw him, and my sister reported yesterday that he was pretty feisty, so even though it's not necessarily unexpected, it's still kind of a shock.
I think being stuck here - the weather means that none of us can really go anywhere or do anything re: arrangements yet - is making it weirder. When my mother died, I got the news, packed a bag, and headed straight to Penn Station. Today, I'm just sitting here refreshing tumblr and absorbing the news, wondering what happens next. Maybe it's healthier than rushing around trying to accomplish things. I don't know. I keep stopping what I'm doing to cry.
Anyway, after today, I'll likely be scarce for a few days so thank you in advance for any kind thoughts or condolences. I really appreciate it, and all the comforting words on my previous posts, even if I haven't been able to respond to it all.
