believe it or not i understand too!

im not a pet person but i can understand how attached one can get and how sad it can be...you were telling me all about her cat recently! sorry :(

i had sad news yesterday too. megan and julie - do you remember a guy named bernie? he worked in my dads building and basically would drive us to the airport, pick me up from school, fix things in my house as his major source of income. once a week he would go to my dad and tell him allt he stuff he did and my dad would pay him. he was/is like a grandfather to me. anyway, his wife got alzheimers like 3 years ago so any time he came over she would come too. he was so good to her and took such good care of her. she had a stroke last week and passed away on sat at 3 am. he had a stroke at 7 am the same day :( and is paralyzed and in the hospital. in a morbid way i think its amazing how you become so close to someone that when one person passes away the other person frequently does also...

my mom told me this last night when i got back from yoga. i cried a lot. im going home tomorrow (next doctors apt is on thurs) so i am going to go see him in the hospital. im really bad at coping with death - ive been very lucky (knock on wood) because i havent had to deal with it much...

i go in and out of really sad/choked up feelings. i just want to go home...

on a lighter note - im addicted to bikram yoga. its the best work out i have ever had. satyan came with me last night and it was even more fun. he and i made a pact to go together twice a week. he said hes talked to a lot of people about it and the health benefits of it are amazing and you lose a lot of weight doing it and fast...

i have a new mat in CT - now i just need to buy him one...
