Rufa the wise sweet monkey, a resident of the sanctuary
There’s more to the Amazon story – one additional amazing rundown, but The Universe threw me a curveball.
Daddy almost died on Saturday. A hardcore shutdown involving almost every organ. His liver was bleeding. His kidneys failed. He had an infection in his blood. We got to see him Sunday night, and it felt like a goodbye. The whole family rallied, but we’ve been waiting for the light.
It came, and it’s blinding.
He’s still in ICU, getting better every hour, and we’re full of hope but certainly not ignorant. He died, see – he had a visit to the other side and he’s been sharing a bit in his loopy way. Guys, it’s *so* amazing. It validates everything I’ve learned in the last year – every magical gift. And it looks like he’s going to live long enough to enjoy his new wisdom. This is unspeakably fabulous.
It’s been a wild ride, and without Z – lord, I’m not sure I’d still be sane.
But it’s all more than OK. I am chin-up and fiery.
I’ll be back on a regular basis next week. Love you all madly.
