Reading about Frank's loss reminded me of my great loss.

That reminds me when my ex Luke first met Milan and Lennybruce. They were adorable and little, and about 6 months old at the time. I was cooing and fawning over them ridiculously, and he said, "Somebody nice, what are you gonna do when they...when they go to kittyheaven?"

I was dumbfounded. I tried to explain to him that the fact that these little boys will likely not outlive me is no reason to avoid getting attached. I mean, can you imagine living a life trying not to "get too attached" just to try and avoid pain later? I can't. My little dudes make me so god-damned happy, as do most people's pets, I would imagine. As I type this, Milan and Lenny are digging through their mile-high kittytoybox that I knitted and felted for them, and getting all high on several of their approximately nine million catnip toys. It is hella cute. Milan just sneezed from violently huffing a pouch that is stamped "100% PURE CATNIP" and made to look like a miniature 20-kilo bag of kittyhash in a burlap sack or something.

Well, yeah.

That attitude baffles me too.  Sure it hurts to lose someone you've loved.  But the value of the relationship far outweighs the pain of loss.  The whole reason the loss hurts is because what you had was so good. 

Everything living is going to die.  That fact, in itself, isn't sad. What's sad is if we let that fact of life keep us from enjoying each other.

I had a girlfriend whos mother professed this belief even about her own children. She once told me to never get so attached to something that you couldn't leave it tomorrow, not people, not family, not things. Needless to say, her parenting was replaced with medication.

Jealously canned because I wanted to say that.

yea but less criminal and more self-centered. Did anyone like that movie? I remember roughly 8% of it being good.
