One person in the comments on Fatty's post today tried very tactfully to say that Susan is dying now and all Fatty's fans will be here for him and the kids.
Nice sentiment, and true, but it struck me as just not something to say to a man unless you know him very very well, and then something you only say in person as you have your arm around him. (the "she'll be gone soon" part, not the "we'll be here for you" part)
I do often wish I could be there and be part of the army of volunteers helping Elden. I was overwhelmed for some odd reason by the description (before they got short haircuts) of the twins going to the next-door neighbor each morning so she could do their hair. That's the kind of help I wish I could give.
