Classwife,

You're so right, this thread comes and goes, and I come in every now and then to see if anything is going on.

Right now I'm preoccupied with some sadness in our family; my brother passed away last Friday after his kidneys shut down. He lived a good life and did what he wanted and for that I'm grateful. He died in a matter of hours, so there was little, if any, suffering.

Yesterday we had to put our Shaka down after 15 years of joy! Two losses in 4 days seems intolerable, but we take what we're given.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts!

Yes, it does seem unfair, but life is that way sometimes. I must take the stance that it's not the happy times that we are judged upon, but how we deal with the times that are not so happy.

Have done a lot of reflection these last few days, and I am secure in the knowledge that my brother lived the life he chose without any regrets, and that gives me comfort. I am grateful for that.

I'm also grateful that we were fortunate enough to have our 'Shaka' in our lives because she gave us so much joy, and she had little suffering at the end.

And, the beat goes on, as it should.

Again, thank you all!
