This morning I got a call just as the news was breaking that our CEO was targeted and killed outside a hotel in New York City. God, I hate this world sometimes.
Our CEO had a passion for people and for making the healthcare system better. He was kind and generous, fun, and left behind a beautiful family.
It was a hard day of mourning, and we are all still heartbroken.

On a walk with Max my fabulous dog we came across the remains of this cat. At first it seemed sad that this fabulous creature met its end running across a busy road and huddled down at the foot of a hedge. Then things turned even more sad as behind this forlorn sight was a basket, blanket and toys. It seemed the cat had become old or infirm and was abandoned with all its cherished belongings in this hedge to die. Even more sad still is just up the road the "Lord Whiskey" charitable trust provides free veterinary care for people without means where this poor sole could have been offered solace.
Heart-broken
Flat River, it is the river named in the song "Sad Ballad of Jack Haggerty", sometimes known as "Flat River Girl."
I'm a heartbroken raftsman, from Greenville I came
All my virtue's departed with a lass I did fain
From the strong darts of Cupid I've suffered much grief
And my heart’s broke asunder, I can get no relief
Of my trouble I’ll tell you without much delay
Of a sweet little lassie my heart stole away
She’s a blacksmith’s fair daughter from the flat river side
And I always intended to make her my bride
I work on the river where the white waters roar
And my name I've engraved on the high rocky shore
I'm the boy that stands happy on the dark, burling stream
But my thoughts were on Molly, she haunted my dream
I gave her fine jewels, the finest of lace
And the costliest muslins, her form to embrace
I gave her my wages all for to keep safe
I deprived her of nothing I had on this earth
While I worked on the river, I earned quite a stake
I was steadfast and steady, and ne'er played the rake
For Camp Flat and river I'm very well known
And they call me Jack Haggerty, the pride of the town
Till she wrote me a letter, which I did receive
And she said from her promise herself she’d relieve
For to wed to another she’d a long time delayed
And the next time I’d see her she’d no more be a maid
To her mother, Jane Tucker, I lay all the blame
For she caused her to leave and go back on my name
For to cast off the riggings that God was to tie
And to leave me a rambler 'til the day that I die
So come all ye bold raftsmen with hearts stout and true
Don't trust to a woman 'cause you're beat if you do
And if you do meet one with a dark chestnut curl
Remember Jack Haggerty and the Flat River girl!
Ishmael, my baby boy, has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. We can expect to have him with us, for only another 4-6 weeks. I'm heartbroken - of the 17 dogs I've shared my life with, Ish was the only one I've had from a young pup, the only one who wasn't rehomed.
I took this picture on our walk this morning. He's on steroids and is feeling OK at the moment...
Only once in a life time you can be touched by an angel.
I am very fortunate to have been touched, and to be with mine.
The feelings I feel inside for you are not illusions, they are real and
deep.
The passion inside me is like a fire burning constantly and that will never
be out.
Nothing will ever take this raving love I have for you away, nothing will
ever put out the fire.
If I could compare the devoted love I have for you to some thing, I would
compare it to air, cause every time you think you run out, there is always
more and plenty of it, all you have to do is to stop for a second and reach
out and savor it.
The passion of love towards you is like the sun, a big ball of fire fuelled
by a cosmic wonder.
I have so much love and devotion for you that I could supply every one that
don't have.
But now I'm left behind with nothing but a broken heart. You put me back together, and made me realize who i was before you were gone.
And now the hopes disappeared in a snap of a finger, all the dreams, and precious moments we shared together.
But one thing ill let you know ,I will always be there for you .
Met her at the Capricon's skywatch
and fell in love with her! :-)
will never know who she is though!

UPDATE: It is with a completely broken heart that I have to tell all of you that my beautiful mother passed away at 9:38pm November 19th, 2020. I was able to stay with her until the very end. And, by God, it took everything I had to leave the room hours afterward. I never wanted to leave her. I still don't want her to be gone. I never will.
Here is what I want you to know about her, she loved her husband of 59 years and one day. She adored her children and grandchildren. She believed most people in the world were good. She loved cooking, knitting, reading and doing sudoku puzzles ( the latter two she did up until three days before she passed). She knew all of you were praying for her and she was grateful for all of your kind wishes. I pray now she is with her parents, whom I adored and that one day, I hope, I get to all see again.
I lost my best friend. My constant comfort, and counsel. The woman I stayed up late nights with cooking and listening to music. I will miss everything about her beautiful and kind soul and the loving way she called me sweetheart.
Thank you everyone for being with me through this horrible, horrible year that kept me from being with her more due to restrictions and lock downs.
Much love to all of you on this Thanksgiving.
Please continue to pray for my devastated dad and a family now left without its heart and soul.
P.S. Pics on the left show my mom just one week before her passing.
While photographing her last night I realised I just can't let her go. I'm happy I saw this now instead of later, she is too precious to me... I would have been heartbroken.

Alone or Lonely???? My son was abandoned by his father at the age of 9 ,,...obviously this had a very profound effect on him,,he was of course heartbroken + had to go through the grieving process which no child of that age should ever have to face,,,,this experience harmed him psychologically as you would expect and i believe because of this he has many problems with self esteem and therefore has had to overcome many more hurdles in his young life than ever he should have,,,,..............when i see this picture i see him and this brings me to ponder sadly ,,,is he "Alone or Lonely???????
meet my new kenner,( yes i cried my share already) her box was so badly dented upon arrival (some real nice person must've kicked around the box to some extent) my father inlaw didn't do much in packing her right, eventhough we told him several times how to repack her in a new sturdy box...michael told me to just rehome her as i can't deal with situations like this,i can't mend her myself.

Even if you feel like you are the only one feeling alone, solitary, heartbroken...you are not.
Sometimes people have felt the exact same feeling at the same place some hours, days, month ago.
Does this comfort you? I guess not.
The happy lights and sounds are dishonest. Dont let them deceive you.
Large cities can make you feel very solitary.
Especially when viewed from above.
Especially in these days.

I've been sitting here watching the news reports coming out of Paris & trying to hold back the tears. Such acts of senseless violence make me lose faith in humanity....a sad, sad night indeed.
Please keep the people of Paris in your thoughts & prayers....
Strolling through the park and no kids around. Somebody is probably heartbroken over her lost shoes.
Yes it’s true.
Today the 10th September 2013, at 11.30am, my darling Shogi was put to sleep.
I'm truely devastated and heartbroken.
The last week Shogi has not been himself. Not interested in play and lethargic.
When his appetite increased and his intake of water, we took him to the vets yesterday.
At 6pm last night, when the vet called me with his blood test results, I had the shock of my life when I was told he had feline leukaemia and there was no cure.
His blood showed 70% white blood cells
I have been in a total state of shock!
I made the decision to have him put to sleep while he still had his dignity and not drastically ill.
I could have let him plod on for a bit longer or tried steroids but no, I wanted him to go while he wasn’t suffering too much.
This morning he ate a good meal and I placed him in his outdoor pen to watch the birds, which he always loved to do.
I let him have a little walk in our garden too.
Just before I took him to the vets I held him as I played his favourite tune and we had a little mooch.
Shogi was never a lap cat, but I once played this tune which he responded to and he just relaxed in my arms as I stroked him.
This has always been his song
It has been such an emotional ride as well as a shock and most stressful
Its all happened so quick!
When we took him to the vets, we also had to take my other cat Guinevere too.
feline leukaemia is a contagious virus, although only spread through mating, cat bites & fights, we had to take her to be tested.
We were relieved to learn she is clear.
Of course at the vets I was full of questions and Matt was willing to answer them all.
Matt wanted to know Shogis history and looked at his records from the day we adopted Shogi.
Shogi has never been a well cat with his bowel disease and the odd cystitis and cold. He’s also taken longer to “get over” things as opposed to any other cat.
On Shogis story you will find that his previous owner had miss treated and neglected him.
I have always had a lot of bad things to say about his previous owner!
Matt brought to my attention the day we brought Shogi in for chipping.
His previous owner never told me he was already chipped!
I told Matt I went through hell with the previous owner trying to get written permission from her to change the address on the chip from hers to mine and all the information she had on the chip.
She never returned my calls, or texts until eventually she disappeared off the face of the earth.
Matt told me this was probably because we would have found out which vet had chipped him and we could have had his health records transferred.
Matt told me, in his opinion, she will have already known he had the virus and could have been born with it.
All his ill health was probably down to the virus.
I can't remember if we had Shogi tested in the early days. We probably did, but Matt stated that it may not have shown up if it was laying dormant. This can happen.
All the little pieces of the jigsaw on Shogis health and how the previous owner was with me have now all been pieced together and all make perfect sense.
Shogi came to me with a death sentence.
Matt told me he was aware how much I cared for cats and that Shogi probably lived longer with me than what he actually should have. So very comforting of him to say that.
He certainly wouldn’t have survived long with his previous owner!
Shogi passed peacefully and Matt let me hold his face so I could be the last thing he saw.
I will be having his ashes.
It was so hard to leave him there and everything from yesterday has happened so quickly that I am in a state of shock and my hands won’t stop trembling.
Poor Guinevere is looking for him everywhere. They were inseparable. I used to call them Bonnie & Clyde!
Whether we get her another friend for her is a little early yet. It sure helps the grieving process and it all depends on how Guinevere copes alone. We have been taking about it but it’s too hard to make the decision today.
I am aware the sooner the better.
There is one thing I would like to say and that is to all the people who have got to know me on Flickr and more so my cat Shogi is, please, please don’t be sad I beg of you.
Yes I am shedding tears and yes I am missing him but regarding his previous owner, I now feel no anger.
She did the best thing she could have possibly done and that was bring Shogi to me.
I did things with Shogi he had never done in his short life.
He’d never had cuddles, grooming, play and he loved to walk on his lead. We’ve taken him with us in the van around the country where he’s enjoyed forest walks, and rock climbing.
I’ve smothered him with toys and most of all he’s had 100% of my love and affection.
Shogi was never a lap cat or was used to being loved but he did begin to show affection which was an amazing experience seeing the odd breakthrough.
His eyes would smile at me with so much love oozing from them and he began to enjoy love and affection.
On a morning he’d started to give me a tender love bite on my cheeck or tap my face with his paw to get me up and then he’d lick my toes. He had such a great personality and made me laugh with his antics, especially when he played with Guinevere. He had so much fun.
He would light up a room till it glowed with his warmth with the mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
Although my home is now very quiet as he was talkative, the warm glow is still here.
Please please don’t be sad,
I’m ok.
Fate brought Shogi to me and he came with a death sentence.
Yes he’s only been with me for 3yrs and yes he was only 6yrs old but his time had come.
If knowing what I know today, would I have done it again?
Hell yeah!!
I wouldn’t have missed the “Shogi” experience for anything.
If I had have known he had feline leukaemia I wouldn’t have taken him and I would have missed out and Lord only knows what would have happened to him.
Thank God I never knew and thank God we found each other!
It was wonderful knowing him.
Loving him.
I gave Shogi the best 3 years of his entire life
He gave me 3 years I’ll never ever forget and will cherish for the rest of my life.
I’m not going to be sad about that!
All I feel is that I gave him my all & my best and no regrets.
Rest in peace my dear beautiful, beautiful boy.
I love you and shall miss you.
Its never goodbye
Its “I’ll see you later”
Until we meet again on rainbow bridge.
Ps. I would like to thank Helen Ozelton at Alfreton Park Veterinary Hospital for all her loving care with Shogi the last 3 years. I know you were fond of him and I’m so sorry for this news. I know you’ll be heartbroken.
Also thank you to Matt Ingram who performed Shogis operation last year and for tenderly putting him to sleep today. You were most caring to me and Shogi and thank you for your kind words and cuddle. I needed that.
Thank you for your kindness
I will lend to you for awhile a little friend, God said.
For you to love while it lives, and mourn when it's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.
But will you, till I call it back, take care of it for me?
It'll bring its charms to gladden you and, should its stay be brief
you'll always have its memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise it will stay, since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below I want this little friend to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true.
And from the folk that crowds life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give it all your love, nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take my little friend home again?
My heart replied, "My Lord, Thy Will Be Done"
For all the joys this little friend brings, the risk of grief I'll run.
We'll shelter it with tenderness, we'll love it while we may.
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should you call it back much sooner than we planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love we've managed your wishes to achieve,
Then in memory of who we loved, please help us while we grieve.
When our cherished little friend departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all its life.

We are still heartbroken over the loss of our beagle Penny. Have been digging through all the photo's we took of her over the years and found this nice one that Bethany took of Penny and me at the Upper Falls in Letchworth Park on March 27, 2010.
The pain in our heart must be one of the pains we can't really handle 'cause it's not physical but emotional.
This pain comes from all those feelings we want to share but it's not possible for all kinds of reasons.
Isn't it sad that all those beautiful feelings eventually makes us ache?
Greta
Rhinestone collections all the time
I wonder what Greta would say
Another lady, another time
Another heartbroken state of mind
Alone in her chambers... she dreams of her home
Outside, she's got a movie star view
Outcries, well where will the kings go
Where will the kings go now?
She's got her eyes wide open
And she's ready to stare you down
She says in words unspoken, she's from out of town
Well some cry, well I really don't dance down
Stormy weather, it cuts like a knife
She's got her bags packed
And she's off to the valley where the
Sun meets the sea
You understand that
She wants to live by the ocean
And no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains
The next day, the next day she leaves the station
Do you really want to change her (do you really want to change her)
Or is it your right?
Ooh alone in her chambers she dreams of her home
In a very real way, she's the purest art form
I bet she said, just how many art lovers can one
Get to know?
She doesn't have an hour
She doesn't have five minutes
She's got to go!
She's got her bags packed
And she's off to the valley where the
Sun meets the sea
You understand that
She wants to live by the ocean
And no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains
The next day
The next day she leaves the station
I wonder what Greta would say
Well I wonder what Greta would say
I wonder what Greta would say
Ooh, she's got a movie star view
Oh well where will the kings go
Where will the kings go now?
Say, Greta
Say, Greta

Greta, my now 4-and-a-half-year-old Boston Terrier is doing great these days. To be honest, she needs to stop aging. I can't imagine my life without her.... she has gotten me through some of the most challenging times of my life.
She truly has come a very long way and I am extremely proud of her. She is a true inspiration.
I didn't name Greta after this song, I actually named her for a werewolf character in the Iron Druid Chronicles, a book series by Kevin Hearne. www.https://kevinhearne.com/
"Greta" was released on the Stevie Knick album Street Angel in 1994 www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1Ybl2XulDk
