My heart ached after reading the latest post at Don't Feed the Pixies, and this came from the tears.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.
If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
With all my heart
ReplyDeletethank you, so, so, so much xx
for this and your comments and sharing
regarding your comments on my post:
ReplyDeleteamazing, what a beautiful post. two things: my dad used to make me cinnamon toast before school: first with butter, a little later no butter just cinnamon, then one piece of bread not two, later no bread at all just coffee, and finally no toast no coffee no me when i left the house at 17. Now it's two pieces/butter/cinnamon/cafe au lait.
sometimes we grow down instead of up.
second thing: have you read Jeanette Winterson's The Passion? I have a feelng you would love it as much as I do... cards and card playing is a big part of the protagonist's life.
so good to hear from you, Lydia. as always.
Oh, so the haiku was for the little kitty. I was somehow looking for the paws in the picture. eheh. There's definitely something wrong with my circuitry today.
ReplyDeleteA sad post and a sad occasion, but a beautiful haiku.
ReplyDeleteI'm still wiping away tears after reading Charlie's story. Beautiful haiku and tribute to such a noble animal. (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your poignant poem I followed the link to 'Don't Feed the Pixies' and read her sad story about Charlie. I had a dog named Charlie and I mourn him still.
ReplyDeleteOur pets live on in our memories long after they are gone. I guess that's their immortality.
Pixies- I'm touched if it helped in the slightest manner. Thoughts heading your way...
ReplyDeletelittlebird- Sounds like a charming breakfast to me. :) So interesting that the similarity I noted went beyond the artwork, right into childhood memories.
Not only have I not read that book, I have not heard of it before. I'm making note of it, as it sounds intriguing and I'd trust your taste in lit any day. Thanks!
Ryhen- O, I don't think there's anything wrong with your circuitry today or any day! But what's the opposite of that anyway....totally wired? !
francessa- Thank you, and it sure was good hearing from you dear friend. :)
Indigo- Charlie's story certainly made me cry too. I think that in sharing Pixie's grief I was able to grieve more for one that I lost...and other pets too. They are never to be forgotten, so important are they in our lives. Hugs back.
Darlene- See my comment above to Indigo, as it applies to your Charlie also. Do you think there's the slightest chance that we get to see them again after death? I know none of us knows, but that is my hope.
