Steak and Eggs

That’s what I had for breakfast yesterday. The steak was left over from the night before. And though I enjoyed the breakfast, it also made me very sad. The last time I had it was when Brian had fixed it for breakfast for me. That was back in July when I visited him. I’ve been meaning to tell the story and now seems like a good time. Between that and losing Duke, I’ve been hanging on by a thread.

I met Brian on 2/4/06. Had found him on Yahoo and was chatting with him. I’m a big animal lover so when I found out he had six cats and a dog and treated them with love, I knew he would be someone that would interest me more. We talked every day on Yahoo at different times. He had a home business and I had my T Mobile Sidekick 2 cell phone.(I hate that phone sometimes because it’s a reminder of what I’ve lost) We were pretty much inseparable there. After a very short time, maybe a week, we started talking every day by phone. I didn’t fall as quickly as he did. He first told me he loved me on 2/22, the night before I lost my dad unexpectedly. At the time, I was 42 and he was 58. I like older men but I was kind of shocked at the time to find out the age difference when we met. But, it didn’t matter. We were so compatible and he was such a great and loving man. We couldn’t have been further apart without being in different countries. I live in Florida and he in Oregon.

He spoiled his animals so much. The kitties got fed a little canned food three times a day and dry food was always left out for them. They were his babies. And his dog always got to share his breakfast with him.We were so good for each other.

*Will write more later. I also just emailed a pet psychic to get one last reading on Duke. She did one a few years ago. I am also having my new dog, Dasher read. Want to know his history and what’s going on with him now. I had to email photos and seeing those of Duke made me cry again. Guess I should have waited on writing about Brian but I need to get it out.*
