Nietzsche is gone - December 14 - and it hurts like summabitch. His kidneys gave up and the last two days he did not eat or drink.

Mom is in Naples and was supposed to be here today, flight got cancelled (Omicron) and she should arrive tomorrow. Last night we had dinner with Ben and Kerri and Kaitlyn and Cameron who has completed basic, medic, and airborne training and is now with the 82 airborne and a tall, strong, proud young man who answered all of our 90,000 questions patiently.
