Sad week

14 June 2008

Although I have a number of cheerful little posts lined up and almost ready to go, it seems wrong not to acknowledge that there is something going on underneath it all, and that’s why I’ve been away from the blog for so long. We did a hard thing, and now we are doing the hard time afterwards. I can’t talk about it right now, but Nicola has.

I’ll talk about it later.

But if posts are a little scrambled for a while, or something feels off, well, there you go. That’s how grief works.

    Again, condolences — such a hard thing to go through. xxx

    I’m so sorry to hear this. What a horrible, hard thing to cope with. I think I remember Zachary from the Clarion West party I attended in Seattle several years ago. He was a beautiful cat.

    Like you and Nicola, we are poorer because Zack is gone and richer for having known him. If anyone ever again says to me “just get another cat,” I’ll bash their teeth in. Mum

    I’m very sorry to hear about Zack and the decision you had to make.

    Yes, grief is a tricky thing, and those kinds of decisions are among the hardest things we ever have to do I think. And, it sucks.

    I have missed your bloggings, but yesterday I was checking for you on here and I noticed the link for your older Virtual Pint posts over on the right side. I went back to the beginning and read some of them. Some great stuff in there about what you think and feel about life and about SOLITAIRE. Thanks for sharing all of that.

    You’ll talk about the other stuff when you’re ready.

    Kelley–
    I am sorry for your loss. If I were nearer I’d send round roses. Very difficult losing a member of the family.
