I want a do-over for today

Today was just awful, and I want to re-do it but with it being a whole lot better.

Most of y'all know by now that Skeezix's post-surgical news is not good. His body is riddled with cancer; the Food Lady and Mr. Tasty Face took him home afterwards, and they'll cater to his every whim for as long as he has left. It could be a short time, it could be a while.

While I was waiting to hear how Skeez was doing, the Woman got the news that her mom died. She was the Other Grandma, the one I never got to meet. But I know she still loved me even though she never met me, because she always asked about me and laughed at Max-stories.

So today has really bit the big one. And I need to go sit on the Woman's lap to make her feel better, but she's not being cooperative.

Condolences to the Woman and your whole family. It's very sad about Skeezix, but you and his family can be comforted by his most wonderful life.

We are shocked and heart broken about Skeezix. He is a legend!

We are also sad about you other Grand Mother. We lost our last Grandmother 2 years ago and even though we never met her, she always ask about us!

We very sorry to hear about Skeezix, Max. My brother who went to the Bridge two years ago had that nasty lymphoma stuff. Our Dr. Aldrich gave him prednisone. He said "No kitty should leave the earth without the benefit of steroids"... and Dood!! He felt lots better for a couple of months... he ate lots of fatty tuna belly and that yummy rotisserie chicken from the Costco place and anything else he loved... and oh I am sooo very sorry.

Oh Max, we are so sorry to hear your Mom's Mom passed away. We are sending her comforting purrs.
You are right, a "do over" would be nice if we had the power to change things.
Give your Mom purrs and headbumps for us.
