So this has not been a good week for news.
First I found out my Great Uncle had passed away.
Then my Dad sent me an email telling me his dog had passed away.
Finally, and least important, though it does affect me the most, the 7-11 from the corner is closed.
I have also been unable to get a hold of Dano, for about a month, and am getting a bit worried. I understand she is married and has a life and is generally terrible about keeping in touch, but a month? I'm just concerned and hoping nothing bad has happened.
I haven't seen my Great Uncle in years, but he always made me laugh. He was just a funny guy. And for anyone who has ever been to Disneyland, he had a hand in the design and workings of the witch at the very end of the Haunted Mansion telling you to come back. I wish I could say I would miss him a ton, but as I never saw him, I know I won't. Which makes me feel like an ass. I do feel terrible for his sister, my Great Aunt, as I see her more often. Being out here though, it kind of separates me, and makes me feel distant both physically and emotionally. Sigh.
For Max, he was a good dog, and I will miss him on my visits to Dad's. I really hope there is some sort of doggy heaven where he can be chasing rabbits forever, as that is what would make him the happiest. Dad and Meaghan are sad, and will be for a while, but they know he was in pain, and this is best for him. Mom said Jake may go by the end of this year too, which really breaks my heart. We all get so attached to animals, and they are only with us a short time. I wish there was a magical elixir of life we could give to them. There are still times I miss my old dog and cats, and when I can, I am definitely getting a pet out here. I would prefer a dog, but will take a cat if that is all I can have. Sigh.
Anyway, RIP Uncle Loius and Max, and may you always be laughing and chasing rabbits (respectively).
