Katdarling, I wasn't going to contribute to this thread because I felt the loss of my cat didn't even begin to compare to the losses that others have borne bravely over the last year and I didn't want anyone to feel I was trivialising it but the stupid and insensitive post from the gargoyle/gargoyle poser had the effect of making me feel that most of us, if not this sad loser, understand and truly appreciate your thoughts and support on this and I wanted to tell you so.
It has been a crap year for many of us and we have found commonality in turning for comfort and support to our friends here...and finding it in abundance.What riches, what unexpected joy in a friend who feels for you,touches you,lets you know they share your pain.And you, more than anyone are first with the tissues, shoulder and common sense.Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
