The Few Simple Rules About Cavenaugh's

Being the furthest away from the source of our power I am, I feel, in a better position to see my clan for what it is. First and foremost a Cavenaugh is incapable of doing wrong. If there is a disagreement between a Cavenaugh and anyone else, you need look further than last name to know who is in the right. If a Cavenaugh does wrong, which they can't, but if they were to, the rest of the clan would form a tight circle around them and protect them to the bitter end.

Second off, a Cavenaugh is stubborn. How stubborn? Stubborn enough that we won't even die until we are good and well ready and not a day before. The only thing that can override this is if through our own stubbornness we cause ourselves to die in spite of ourselves. I know that sounds confusing, but it has happened and therefore it is a rule. How long have we been so right and so stubborn? The first known record of this occurred in Ireland long long ago.

I only mention this because my dear uncle who on Sunday was in such poor shape that the family was gathered to see him to his end is today less than a week later out of Super Everyone Has to Wear Hazmat Gear ICU to a normal room. And I think I spent some time in the waiting room sitting next to Death. He seemed pretty impatient and put out by the whole thing.
