    Shout out to (one of) my HS bullies, who is playing in the Super Bowl tonight. I hope you feel joy and accomplishment. You taught me a lot about how to support other people, and I appreciate you for that.

  13. The old man was narrating frantically to the neighbor what had happened and talking about how important she was to him. Then the doctor came out a second time and told him she had died--which was obvious to everyone else. The rest is, as they say, the rest.

  14. She was clearly in cardiac arrest and they rushed her back to try to revive her. I think everyone in the ER waiting room knew she had died or would before he did. The ER attending came out once to tell him it wasn't looking good but they were doing all they could.

  15. We arrived at the same time as an ambulance carrying a woman who had just fallen in the shower unconscious. Her husband, an elderly Argentinian man by his accent, and a neighbor rode with her.

  17. Ok, for all those wanting the story, no, the death was not my date. We went ice skating. We had a nice time. It ended abruptly when someone hit me from behind and I fell over and cut up my face.
