he died this morning, around 1:45.
i
think it's for the best that the process is over. it's been long, slow
and painful for everybody, especially for him. with the kind of life
he's been living over the last few months, death should be viewed as an
escape from the cage of conscious existence.
it seems
like what they did was take him off the anti-seizures and then load him
up with sedatives. i haven't heard the exact cause yet, but it was
probably a brain hemorrhage, and he probably went in his sleep.
there wasn't any other possible outcome. the drugs were just prolonging the inevitable.
that
means she should, in theory, be able to wire it today. i'd appreciate
it if you acted otherwise unless i send another email, though. she's not
always reliable in the best of times, and she rarely is in the worst of
them. if she's mad at me or resentful over me not being there, she
won't wire it. altruism and empathy are two of the things that her
psychological conditions do not allow for.
i'll be back
in town in a few days for the funeral. i couldn't handle watching him
die, but i definitely want to go to that. i need to find out when that
is, too. i want to get something signed in the next day or two, get the
keys, then leave immediately afterwards.
if neither of you wire it, i'm sort of fucked. if you both wire it, i can just give you the money back when i get back.
i'll let you know if she sends me any more info.
