Gurujulp would've wanted his doper family to know...
This is by no means mundane or pointless to me but I don't know where to post this. I just wanted our doper family to know that gurujulp (Jesse), my husband, passed away in his sleep early this morning.

That's just not fair, is it?

Do you want to talk about him a little with us?

A very familiar name…in fact, I was certain he was just here. And he was, in the esophageal spasm thread.

I am so sorry.

I'm so very sorry. When you feel able, please share stories of him with us - anything funny or touching or important in ways you don't even understand right now. We'll carry those memories of who he was.

Gurujulp was much appreciated here and this is a terrible loss for us all.

My condolences to you, to the rest of his family, to his friends. I am so sorry. And thank you so much for letting us know, that is such a kindness for you to think of us.

You are in my prayers.

How terribly sad.

This post of his in the 95% Pandemic thread just 2 days ago is so heartbreaking now.

Of course, after I became a father, any pretentions that I might risk the kiddos, or even myself as a guardian of those kiddos- became a stupid thing I said as a young adult, immature and stupid.
