Say what you want about my mom having the incredibly poor luck ('cause I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence) of putting on the season of Fargo with the cancer subplot.

This quote from the police chief is spot-on. This is exactly how we're treating my poor stepbrother. And it makes me so mad.

If they see any of the irony or how close to home it hits, they're not showing it. They're real good at shutting this stuff down—I dunno, maybe it's a Midwesterner thing—and I kinda envy them for it.

"So... There's a look a boy gets when he's been shot or a - or a land mine takes off his legs, and he's laying there in the mud, trying to get up, 'cause he doesn't feel it yet."

"His - his brain hasn't caught up with the reality, which is... he's already dead. But we see it, the rest of us."

"And we lie. We say, 'Lay still. You're gonna be fine.' If you'd been to war, you'd know the look."
