The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

I heard from Sunflour but, it was quite awhile ago. She had the cat that made gingerbread houses- a cartoon of him rolling out dough, he was my ONLY favorite cat.
I think his name was "Bucky."

That cat was so cute!! Loved him.

Hi all

The link I tried yesterday didn’t work, so I went about things the hard way. I just played it and recorded at the same time. So no fancy video, and the sound isn’t as rich as it was coming out of my computer but that’s just how it is. I think this song is on her CD.

When she sent me the link, I hadn’t heard from her in forever. But she wanted me to hear this in particular - she was pretty insistent. Tentative feelers were extended, but then I said something wrong - again - and set her off. I’m not even sure what I said, although I have an idea. Taking things at face value has never been her strong suit, but she’s an expert at looking for ulterior motives or innuendo where none was ever intended and instantly believing it was a criticism of her. So she cut me off. Again. But knowing her as I do, she wrote this song during one of the times when she was thinking of how her life has been and how she longs to be anything but what she is. I can hear her confusion and pain in the lyrics. My heart just breaks for her loneliness and regret.

That's so nice of them. Great to have a vet that cares for you and your pets alike.

She's got a lovely voice, @Blooie .

No, it never does. I'll feel her hand in mine, hear her contagious giggle, and recall her wise words forever. I took losing her very hard....and I'm still not over it. I don't know that there are many on this thread and on Rachel's thread who didn't know Linda - I sure talked about her often enough! The folks here held my hand through her hospitalizations, her surgery, and those bleak days when she was on life support. They celebrated with me when she just suddenly "woke up" and was discharged from the hospital just a few days later. And they were with me when she was put on hospice and died just 2 days later.

I hope that I've been able to offer comfort here in return, to pray or to celebrate victories large and small. I love sitting down at my computer and sharing a laugh and expressing a little indignation when someone has been wronged. And I offer all of those things to you as well. If I could give you one piece of advice it would be this - live as she prayed you would.

Thank you for this
