...Has left the building.

SJ Hersha, aka Datawolf, died sometime between midnight last night and 11 this morning. The hospice nurse declared ToD to be 12:10 pm.

Our 12th anniversary would have been on the first of August. But we'd been together for decades. IIRC, they moved in with me full time in 1990. We met in late 1987, at a science fiction convention (Octocon, IIRC.)

I'm still pretty numb. This was the natural end to being on hospice for cancer. They died at home, not in pain. For the last day or so they weren't really here. The last words I said to them was that I loved them.

I don't know if/when the celebration of life will be.
