I'm sorry Ron and I hope time has helped you with your loss. I know we still talk about one of my cats that passed away nine years ago, it's still hard for us.
As for this quote: "It's interesting to me, that my brother's death 4 months ago didn't affect me the same way. I don't know if I was just so distanced from him, so prepared for the inevitable, or if I am, in fact, a heartless son of a bitch. I still haven't figured it out."
Are you accepting bets on this? I'd like to put some money down.
OMG...this made me cry, because my little Lexie (my weinie dog) looks sicker and sicker every time I see her when I go home, and there is really nothing that my parents or a vet can do at this point since she is so old! She's not a cat, but she is a hell of a dog!
And I'm so sorry. I lost my beloved 8 y.o. Pharaoh (standard gray tabbie) on July 4th, 2001 and just recently, my beautiful 16 y.o. Bear (blonde chow) on November 14th of this year.
This is certainly not to compare our individual pain over our losses or to turn this into a pity fest but I simply wanted you to please know that people who truly understand are out there. Including me.
These things never get easier no matter how many times we suffer a loss. Nor should it.
I think your eulogy for Zelda was a shining testament to your connection with her. I wish more people had that with their companion friends. They love us so much and ask for so little.
