There is some sad news...
Granpa Lou lost his mother on
Halloween, while he and Maisie
were having a grand time.
Bertha was a grand old girl of
Ninety-Three...And she met both
of her great grandchildren. She
spent her declining years in a
nursing home But even with a
dimming memory, Bert practically
ran the place. G bless her on her
beauteous journey. Heaven.

My sister-in-law, Cat, had the
ignominious obligation on Thursday
of putting down the Bassett Hound.
If i had to love a devoted canine,
Boo=Boo was my girlfriend. At
five & a half years with troubled
bones, she was a dog among dogs.
NOW, Bertha has a companion in
the self=same Heaven where Love,
Devotion and Virtue are rewarded.
[would that i did not have to wait
sixty years 2 go there.] Woof!

Who will console me?
Who will deliver me from this brief
darkness AND patch my wounds?
Who shall set a bright sun in the
high place above Falluja & Baghdad?
How many Names must we invoke
during this time of trial? Answer me,
oh indifferent Sky!
* * *
Wait! It is my name which calls for
Peace & consoles the afflicted.
All the burning prayers rise through me.
Imagine the beginning there^
Greater Wisdom may accrue...
To Perfect sympathy i submit.
And, Heaven will come

My utmost sympathetic indemnity, concerning the double departure. How soon it is that, we'll be alongside.
Mister Hyde... Unlike the Doc', to revert to his harmonic-scientist-self, he simply inhaled the smoke that billowed from his laboratory flask. Fortunately for everyone, he lived in Oakland, CA.
You've seen the chep=filosofical imitaxtions running amuck that, you often inspire. Oh too rarely that, they chime in with anything as Heavenly as the original but, likewise, oh too rarely they're accurate...
"Embrace the hard times... They need it, BAD." Wait, that's not that way it goes!
"... For without them, there'd be no good times at all." Yeah, that rings more familiar.
Here's to the hope that, you'll rub-more-off on me through extra-long-term exposure provided, you don't give-up on me first.

Slac, my condolences. It must feel like a rough couple of days with a whole bunch of WHY to them, but trust that the Man Upstairs has not only a plan but a comfortable eternal vacation spot. Dogs and fully-lived women alike.
I saw you online the other day & almost initiated a chat, wish I would have, but I was afraid to disturb journal browsing or glowing. Besides, Girls aren't supposed to call Boys.

How sad for you. (HUGS)
I, too, lost my grandmother on Halloween 2 years ago. It was heartbreaking to be out trick-or-treating with my young ones and coming home to the bad news.
LIFE must be accompanied by death in order to appreciate life, however.
I know I appreciate it more when I think of those things she taught me.
God Bless
Stacy
My prayers for G`Pa Lou.
