04-01-43 to 05-16-09 :(
My mother-in-law died on Saturday (the 16th. She was only 66 and it was completely unexpected. The memorial service was on Wednesday and the funeral was on Friday. It was supposed to be on Thursday but Jimmy’s grandma had kidney dialysis that day. Jane was Jimmy’s grandparents’ first child. 🙁 I think I’ve cried more about her dying than Jimmy has. I think that’s because he wasn’t as close to her as I was with my mom and she had a lot of problems and so it’s probably kind of a relief not to have to deal with her bipolar disorder anymore. There were a ton of people at the memorial service and a few at the funeral. The memorial service was pretty much for everyone who knew her and the funeral was for family and really close friends. It’s sad that the only time we seem to see his cousins (especially Daniel who lives kind of far away)is when something major happens.
I feel guilty because I think I should have been more understanding of her but it was hard at times to be. I know now she knows how I really felt and that I shouldn’t feel guilty about being annoyed by her at times…
Wow. I am very sorry to hear that. My symapthy goes out to you. 🙁 RE: Well I have gotten tons of shelter dogs before. I also got a few dogs from breeders. Sometimes I want a “certain breed” and I don’t want to get a dog from a shelter when I specifically want something. I’m sure in the future I may get a dog from a shelter. But right now my heart is set on a Malemute. All of my cats are from shelters. 🙂

RE: Yeppers, I always clean the DVDs that I get from Netflix, but these are just majorly scratched up and are not working – although the weird thing is, I do find that if I watch the DVD in my laptop, it doesn’t skip nearly as bad as it does when I watch it in my PS2.

RE: Thanks for the notes. I appreciate the thoughts. I do not believe that Rosie is coming home though. I wish I could have that hope but I just don’t. I know my cat too well. I will be happy if a miracle does occur, but I am too in tune with her to be hopeful. Many friends have shared stories of their cats who have returned after weeks and months, but I also notice that they are all “he” cats. Male cats (even when neutered) have that tendency to go out and explore and roam around. We had a male cat (fixed) that vanished for 10 days and returned. But I have never had a girl cat return after more than 4 days. EVER. And we’ve had a lot of cats over the years. Sometimes you just know. Rosie was a cat that NEVER left the yard, so it’s just not practical to believe that she will come back. I know my cats. Stormy and Jack like to go out on adventures, but Logan, Annie, and Rosie are NEVER out of the yard and they always stay close. So if one of them is gone for days, well it’s just not good. And we live way out in the woods. There aren’t people around really so I know nobody picked her up. She didn’t go to strangers anyway. It’s so upsetting and painful. I just feel totally lost.

P.S. Oddly enough our cat that disappeared for 10 days was also named Whiskers!!! But it’s a LOT more likely for males to go off and get lost than a female. Rosie was NOT a cat that liked to leave the house or yard. I’m sure I will be sad about this for a very long time.
