~ Strange and Beautiful
   It just seemed to me like an awesome and powerful message from the universe. A reminder than even in the face of death, life continues.

~ So This is Good-Bye
   And realizing I was there in the first place because I was mourning my friend's death just really hit it home for me... I am incredibly grateful for this strange, weird, wonderful, horrible, amazingly beautiful, mind-boggling world we live in.

   When doctors can do no more for a body that's fighting a septic blood infection, there's not much to say. Only tears, as I unclenched my hands and let go of the hope I'd been holding onto so tight, for so long, that she'd get better.

   But remember the bald man by the cash register? Yeah, he hadn't moved yet. And to make things worse, he started talking to me.

~ Little Zoo: A Simon Story
   Before I knew it, he had one hand on my nose, the other on my ear, and he was just licking my cheek over and over.

   I also got to pet our lynx the other day. He likes being scratched on the side of his face, like a housecat does. Except that he's 10 times the size of a housecat!

~ Patches & the UTI, Take 2
   Patches seemed all better before she peed blood on the carpet.

~ Update: Patches and School
   Patches is doing much better since the last time I wrote. For that matter, so am I.
