Schadenfreude

I got back down south from visiting my parents in the Bay Area a couple of days ago. When I was there, a neighbor told me a story about a friend of hers and said she wouldn’t have believed it if she didn’t know the person personally, and I probably wouldn’t believe it if I’d heard it from someone who knew someone, who knew someone, who knew someone

Oh. My. God.

I know! It's almost unbelievable. I used to travel (usually internationally) every year for my birthday but stopped as Bailey got older because I didn't want to leave him, fearing that if something happened to him while I was gone and unreachable, I'd never forgive myself. He died ON my birthday last year and this made me think of how how glad I was I was home with him and how, as awful as it was, how much worse it would have been if I hadn't been.

Wow, what a twisted story...and goes to show that reality is indeed stranger than fiction...

No kidding! How are you, bud? How's home ownership going, etc? Do tell!
