Sorry. Losing someone too soon is bad enough. Having them murdered is terrible.

Dr. BP - Yes, we musicians have a different sort of Christmas, don’t we? Starting mid-November or so, weekends booked. What sorts of things did you play?? And where? And on what?

[steve86]

but I’m hoping next year when I’m healthy I will be able to adopt a new one. At least that is what I asked Santa for.

I hope you do! Best wishes!

I feel the spirit and soul of my late wife beside me. Alone? Not ever...

Karl Gottfried von Leitner wrote a poem about that, and in the last year of his life, Franz Schubert set it to music. Leitner handles it indirectly, and even if you don't know German, you can simply feel the passage where the narrator speaks of his late wife's presence in the room, thanks to Schubert's musical gift.

I know. I feel so bad for her. Right now she is focused on the funeral, but there will be the ongoing police investigation and all of that. She has a long road ahead of her.

It is ALWAYS terrible losing a child. I have been through the death of 2 nieces so I have some idea about that. Sometimes you just have to cry all over again. My heart goes out to you and your wife.

So sorry to read about your loss! Way worse than anything I’m experiencing.

[Gefn]

Thank you.

Dogs and cats are wonderful.

[steve86]

I have birds, so don’t have or like cats especially, but can see how some people do. Hope things improve rapidly for you!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Do your birds get to fly outside of their cages?

[tomkat]

Quite true, that.

Have a peaceful Christmas, y'all   d:^)

“animals around though and they are good company and very good listeners.”

I love my furkids! I like being with them more than most people I know.

And they never give bad advice!

[krunkygirl]

OK. *laughing *

Merry Christmas!

[Liberty Valance]

Yep. And it’s a bit rough. Lost my wife July 5th. First Christmas without her in 38 years. Lost my brother last month as well. Still have 2 cats. One is 22 yrs old (siamese) and the other (calico) is 11. My son is driving up from San Antonio tomorrow to spend the day and i’ll cook a Christmas dinner. I will say that the phone has been ringing off the hook from friends and family that i have left.

Merry Christmas everybody.

rOFLOL!

That’s the line of the night!

Making things go boom is fun. Making things go boom in close proximity to Haji is even more fun.

[who knows what evil?]

No tree or decorations. Some of the cats would have a field day!

The only tree in my home right now is a cat tree, purchased a few weeks ago. All four cats have been having a 'field day' ever since...

“How things have transformed in three years, from a homeless vet to a married family man again!”

Now, that sounds like a story worth hearing!

[tflabo]

Count me in-—its my own fault I’m alone tonight. But its just fine, Spending it on FR with you other one’ers is mighty good. Praise the birth of the Savior.
