Unforeseen events.

Harry,

My prayers and good wishes go with you.  Take care!  After the darkest night, comes the dawn.

But for some of us, these events come in clusters.

Oh yes. Sadly true. I cannot talk about human beings here fortunately, but in mid June I got a dark outlook (forecast) for my older (13) cat. Cancer. At the same day! while I was waiting at home for the vet to phone me, my other completely healthy cat suddenly was around my feet, I thought she was playing, then she went right to the rooms wall, panting very quickly. When I took here a really irreal, far away meeow followed. Over the day, with an immediate vet visit, she lost control over everything, late in the evening she was only lying on the side and slightly moving feet. I think she was deaf and blind over the whole day as well. She died on the way to the vet. There were 12 hrs between the sunny morning mood and death. Must have been some kind of cerebral apoplexy but no one knows.

OK sorry sorry I don't want to steal the thread. Maybe my way to tell you I'm with you, Harry.

Anne, it is good to hear from you, and my thanks for these words which have special meaning.

[scarpia]

Sorry to hear of your many troubles.  The first step in helping others is keeping yourself strong.

You are not alone, and neither are they.

Stay strong, Harry.

When those of us(like me ) with relatively minor ailments moan and bewail our misfortunate we need to remember that there are people far worse off and with infinitely greater problems!

My sincere sympathies and my thoughts go with you.

How terrible for you As a fellow cat lover I can more than understand your distress! Some people just cannot understand how close a human being can be to a beloved pet. If the pet is-essentially-one's immediate close family then there is a bond akin to that between parent and child. My sympathies!

[Harry]

Harry,

Jeffrey

Thanks Jeffrey, I really appreciate your words, and hope that it is well with you.

[Harry]

Stay strong, Harry.

With all the support from you guys? You bet!

Thanks Dundonnell, good and comforting words.

[Harry]

For you Wurstwasser.

[Solitary Wanderer]

Sorry to hear this Harry.

My wife has lost four of her friends this year via cancer all in their 50s-60s so its sobering stuff.

Every day is a blessing.

Take care friend 

Yours in Music.

And embrace Lord Byron's wisdom: Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.

[M forever]

Is that cat dead?

[Bonehelm]

Troubling times indeed, Harry - I'm saddened to hear about your situation and that of your friends and family. 

My thoughts are with you, and I hope that some sunshine still breaks through the clouds on even the darkest of days.

WTF? Long time no see, Mark!

[Brian]

And embrace Lord Byron's wisdom: Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.

Yes indeed.

[Renfield]

Is that cat dead?

No. It just "ran out of happeh", as per the original caption.

(This is the legendary "Happeh Cat", of great internet fame to those in the know.)

[Tapio Dmitriyevich]

For you Wurstwasser.

Thanks Harry , and btw pretty close, she was a grey one, with green eyes.

Beautiful creature.
