The End Has Come

I don’t know if I spoke yet of the gourd (aka: Gord - short for Gordon) in my office? He started out as a brilliant idea of mine to carve him into a Jack-O-Lantern for the pumpkin carving contest here in my office at Halloween. Well, he ended up being SO HARD SHELLED that I couldn’t even get the knife through him. Therefore he got “dressed up”. Turns out he was SO THICK that he lived to be 6 months old.  J We dressed him up for every holiday and we were in great anticipation for Cinco De Mayo when….  He suddenly passed away. No one really knew he was sick other than the normal discoloration from his old age. It really kind of just snuck up on us.  I would check every so often to see if he was leaking and all was fine until this morning.  L  It’s final. The Gord has passed.  L  So I put some paper towels underneath him, changed his eyes to X’s and we are having a viewing today. The memorial is to last the rest of the week.

Gord, I love you so and will miss you forever.  *sniffle*
