Jilli, huge hugs to you and Pete.
Today would have been my Dad's 80th birthday. I've been missing him a lot lately.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Oh, Drew. That's so hard. I'm so sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good thoughts to ND.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Aw, Drew. Hard, hard, hard. I dread the day(s) and feel for you.

It's always going to be hard missing him, but the birthday seems especially so since it is only four days after mine.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

People who don't give a crap about their pets, don't agonize after losing them about whether they could have done something better. You wouldn't feel so broken and remorseful if you weren't so honorable and loving toward your cats. I'm sure I have mentioned petloss.com [link] before, but just in case it might do a lick of good for any of you, I found it to be helpful when I was hurting. They have the Rainbow Bridge story in a bunch of different languages, as well as other inspirational readings, and they hold a weekly memorial service in chat (the text of the ceremony is available to read on your own, if that is preferred).

The status is NOT quo.
Jilli, you go ahead and rant. It has been a shitastic year for you and too many others here. I saw how Pete feels about having made the choice and I know that there's no changing his mind and you know, he's damned well entitled to feel anyway he wants to, but you all did the right, most humane thing you could have done. It makes it no less heartbreaking but you made the choice to not allow Tzepesh to suffer any more. And no one could have given him a better more loving home.
This. So much this.
Gud, if you're about, you go ahead and rant, too.
And this.
Fred, you've been dealing with more than enough of this as well.
Ditto this.
And smonster, sweetie, we got your back as well.
Yes, this too.
I can't stand that people who work so hard and feel so deeply and are just so good keep getting shit on. Fuck off, Universe-- leave Buffista Island alone already.
And most of all? This. I am so sorry.
