Posted by Julie in : Fambly, Rick, Shorty , trackbackI may be a bit scarce in the days to come. Someone I love is going through something awful, and while I can’t say what it is yet (not everyone has been notified and the last thing I want is for the people this affects to find out on this blog), just know that I’m going to be keeping close to home and family for the next little while. If I’ve told you about it, I’d appreciate you keeping mum on here until I put up a more detailed post.
ETA: Rick’s told the kids now, so I can post. Rick’s younger brother, Jeffrey, is dead. He apparently died peacefully in his sleep, which is good, but things are a little off-kilter for everyone at the moment and I’m not really sure what’s going to be happening for the next week or so. I’m just going to do my best to be there for Rick and the rest of his family.
Sloth, ESC, and Aimee, thanks especially for your support yesterday. It meant so much to have you three to talk to.

Ok. Take care of yourself and all your people. We all love you guys.
Hopefully things will be ok. You know where to find me if you need anything. Just call or email.
My heart goes out to you and Rick and the family! I hope everything is ok hon!
I am SO SORRY. My deepest sympathies to you, Rick and his entire family.
I’m here if you need me…
My prayers to you, Rick and his family.
Just take care of each other, and If there’s anything I can do- you know where I am.
Oh Julz, I’m so relieved. At least if he was sleeping, we can know it wasn’t painful or lingering or frightening. I’m glad we were able to talk yesterday (though you put me in the mood for a burrito, and I’ve yet to find a decent one in this Northern town–damn!). My biggest love to you, Rick, and the familia.
xoxo
Julz, I’ll say a prayer for Rick and his family. I’m so sorry.
Oh Julez, I’m so very sorry this has happened. Please tell Rick and know that I am thinking of you both and your family as you go through this difficult time. I am so very sorry.
Any time, sweetness. I thought about you a lot over the weekend.
Sorry to hear that, Jules. You take care of you and yours.
wow, very sorry to hear that
I’m so sorry. I can only imagine what you, Rick, and his family must be going through. My condolences to you all.
I’m so sorry Julie. *Hugs*
Take care of your family.
Go be with your family. We’ll be here waiting with hugs for when you get back.
Very sorry to hear this–prayers going to you all.
I’m so sorry to Julie. My thoughts are with you.
I’m sorry Julie - hugs to you and to Rick and his family.
OMG, Julie! Please give my condolences to Rick…and a great big hug to both of you.
Thank you - Thank you all for your warm wishes. Jeffrey - always unconventional - was a great guy and my best buddy. We’re dealing with it okay. Suddenly I know what they mean about having a big hole in your life. But life does goes on, and we do have each other.
Thank you - I love you all
