Loss it can break you in half.

The magnitude of LOSS can be life lasting and maddening.

Today would have been my sister Jen's 37th birthday.

A drunk driver took so much from her...and life was not fair to her after that. How she struggled with all of the destruction and devastation to her body, I can't begin to understand.

I have heard the phrase "in a better place now", That might be true for her. Selfishly I would prefer to have her here.

Knowing you are truly loved is a gift, very few times in my life have I felt that someone truly loved me. The day my sister died I lost one of those people.

 

I think of Jen when I see beautiful things, esp sunsets/sunrises.

 

In honor of my sister, I ask each and every one of you please never drink and drive.

Jen,

I remember holding you as a baby. I became a big brother the day you came into this world.

6 years today you left us, it feels like yesterday. The sun doesn't shine as bright anymore.

I don't feel like a big brother....

All the wishes and tears haven't brought you back.

I miss you.

RIP Täystuho (translates to Complete Destruction). My fellow companion for 15 years. She and I felt her work was done after seeing the pandemic spread.

Dan Patch (aka "Patch")

September 15, 2004 - October 26, 2020

 

Patch was born in one of the out buildings at Continental Machines, a large factory in Savage, Minnesota. I worked there at the time, and a few of us monitored and cared for the feral litter of kittens.

 

I had a different kitten all picked out until the day we gave them away. That choice changed when I picked up this fuzzy little peanut boy and he just nestled down in my arms and purred.

 

That night, the little guy slept in the crook of my arm, and 16 years later, he was still sleeping there every night that I was home.

 

Another male cat that we had, Ringer, took him in as a kitten, snuggling with him, and keeping him clean (as Ringer's dad, Reebok, also did). We had to bottle-feed Patch for a couple of weeks. I'm sure if Ringer could have done that, too, he would have.

 

Patch was so laid back and affectionate, thanks to his "Uncle" Ringer. He carried on in our line of male caretaker cats, taking care of kittens, the other cats we had, and even our wiener dogs. Of course, he took good care of his mom, too.

 

He'd had an upper respiratory problem for years, but in the last few months it got progressively worse and worse. Late last weekend, the congestion had gotten to a point where he had difficulty breathing. I had to make the choice to do the unthinkable.

 

I still have a wiener dog and other cats right now. If it wasn't for them, I don't know how I'd get through this. Patch was my soulmate. My house feels so incomplete now.

 

RIP my Fuzzy Boy.

 

Side Bar: Why was his name Dan Patch? Continental Machines (where he was born) was right across the highway from the former site of the International Stock Food Company farm where M.W. Savage kept his world famous pacing horse, Dan Patch. This horse paced the mile in 1:55 in 1906. That time wasn't equaled until the 1920's and wasn't bettered until the almost 1960.

Much loved and greatly missed

The yellow flag warns of Rip Currents. It'll yank you out and send you a couple of hundered yards down the beach and the more your fight it, the less chance you have of surviving it. 14 didn't this past summer.
