In Memoriam
Richard Nugent
January 22, 1944 - June 10, 2006
He passed away comfortably, surrounded by family, at 6 pm tonight. I held his hand as he took his last breaths, as the one thing, the biggest thing I've feared my whole life, happened. And it wasn't terrifying. His death didn't shatter the universe. It was the most profound moment in my life, and I am so grateful I was here to give him my love, I was able to tell him over and over, how much I loved him, and I repeated the words he spoke on the phone last night: it will be ok.
It is.
Rest in peace, my father. You will live on forever in our hearts.

Riding the bike with one pedal. (It's not as easy as it sounds.)
About Me
- Name: PlazaJen
- Location: Kansas City, Missouri, United States
I'm a one-woman stand-up whirlwind who can be incredibly lazy and incredibly funny, sometimes at the same time. I write bitter haikus, cook Thai food, love my husband & our dogs, love my friends & family, and the rest of my time centers around yarn & knitting, with sporadic crafting thrown in for good measure.
