O’Beast
I’m just off the phone with O’Beast’s vet. The results from his bloodwork from last week are in. I really must find another name for the O’Beast. He’s no longer the 20 pound blimpoid I inherited from my mother. He tests negative for toxoplasmosis. That’s the disease that cats commonly carry that can be a…
Deer Diary
CatControlled’s entry today reminded me of something that happened to me twenty-odd years ago. It was mid-day Saturday. I was home, doing some cleaning, which back in those days meant that I not only knew where the vacuum cleaner was, but I knew how to find the on-switch. I had just turned the vacuum off,…
Nuts.
Which just about sums it up in a nutshell.
Cat Barf Epilogue
I get home. The puddles of cat barf are missing. Yay! Then The Professor tells me in detail how Warrior Princess only got sick twice last night, both times in the hallway, and how he cleaned up right away. I let him tell me twice, and then asked “So you didn’t have to clean any…
When the going gets tough …
… the tough pay bills, clean kitchen to aseptic operating room standards, purge the refrigerator, file, and wait on-hold with the hospital for 75 minutes. I’d say that was about my life in a nutshell today. Emphasis on the word “nut”. And no, I finally gave up and never did end up talking to anyone…
I just heard the news.
Bob Keesham, who played Captain Kangaroo, died today. His show was a huge part of my childhood. It started the year I was born, and was still running when I was in my twenties. Believe me, there were quality shows for kids long before Sesame Street. Mr. Greenjeans, Mr. Moose, Bunnyrabbit, Miss Frog … now…
this is the kind of letter that is tough to write, but you pull it off. too bad they can’t know more about you.
I think that’s pretty good. I tried to read it from the recipient’s perspective. I think that you waited until this time of year is actually very good. The first holiday season after losing a loved one is very difficult, and this letter might make it easier. The only thing I might even suggest to add is that you are taking exceptional care of their child’s liver, that you don’t drink and are careful about medication that could damage it. They might feel better to know that the doctors are unsure as to why your original liver failed but that you were not engaging in behaviors that could have put you at risk. Oh, and you could add that it is working normally.
The above are just suggestions, and those particulars are not necessary, I suppose, but if it were the Kid, I would feel better to know that whoever got his organs would take good care of them.

Great letter. You have always had a way with words.
Beautiful…

Beautiful.
What a beautiful letter.
I would not change a thing.
Telling them about your past health would only make them sad and they do not need to know that.
You did an excellent job telling them just what they needed to know….that you are leading a ‘normal, healthy and happy life’ once again, thanks to their ‘decision’.
That will make them ‘happy’ knowing that they did they right thing. Also knowing that part of ‘them’ is living on, in you, is comforting to them, alone.
Again….
What a Beautiful letter.
Love,
Honey
P.S…
You letter also tells them…
What a ‘Beautiful person’ you are.
I think it’s a great letter. I think you did a great job showing how much a difference it has made to your life. I’m glad you were able to find the words.
