You know, a lot of times when one of y'all posts something terrible and everybody chimes in to say "that sucks, I'm sorry" I feel dumb just adding another "I'm sorry". I think "I don't even know this person, this seems kind of foolish" and sometimes I don't comment, even though I am sorry, and I'm just sitting at my computer being dumb and saying nothing.

Well, now it's me getting all of your "sorries" and I have to tell you, I'm really, really grateful. Whether I know you irl or only here, it feels good, to come online and read this, and I do appreciate each one of your comments.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

it might only be virtual, but it sure seems like real sometimes.

Sis, LD told me (I haven't caught up yet on my f-list) and we both had our little sniffle. I know how much Simon meant to you, and honey...I'm so sorry about the fact that you couldn't extend his time any longer than you did. You are a wonderful pet-mama...and I know that Simon knew how much you loved (and still do) him.

*hugs you tight*

I pulled a "sit at the computer being sorry and dumb" on you today. I sure have though about you and your Simon, and I'll say it now. I am so sorry. I can't make it better, but I love you and so do an awful lot of other people. Simon was a fantastic cat and a lot of people loved him too.

*hug*

You wanna know something? The very worst thing Simon ever did, the very worst, the "oh, god, look at what we put up with with this cat!" story, was when he peed on you in your sleeping bag.

I even told the new vet about that, when discussing his meds, to explain why he was on Prozac. "He used to pee 'inappropriately'. One time he even peed on my sister-in-law." You were the direct recipient of his worst side.

Honey, if that's really the very worst thing he ever did he was the best cat there ever was. :) I wasn't thrilled at the time, but he didn't pee on anything I couldn't wash.

[daphnep.livejournal.com]

That was the very worst, so he probably really was the best ever.

I guess you're not supposed to admit to favorites, but he's my favorite, just the same. :(

[stachybotrys.livejournal.com]

It's OK to have favorites with pets as long as you love all of them. *hug*

I know what you mean. It feels silly and sometimes even insincere to be just another "I'm sorry." But I am sorry and I'm not particularly good with words. So, it will have to do when it's what I feel and all that can be said.

I wish I could say more... Be more eloquent, add great words of wisdom. Give some kernel of knowledge that makes it all worthwhile in the end. I wish that every time someone I know is dealing with loss or some sort of troubles.

Sometimes just "sorry" works just fine.

That's exactly what happened with me. I saw all the sorries and decided not to add mine because 1. you hardly know me, and 2. it would just be the same message for the 20th time. So I'll add it now...I know the pain of losing a beloved cat. I'm so sorry!

Thank you for this post. :)

Thank you.
(New as you might be, I'm really enjoying reading your journal, btw. I've been reading low_delta for a while, and now it's like seeing a whole other side with a new storyteller.)

I'm really enjoying reading your journal
Thank you!

Kevin has been telling me stories about your boss (former boss?) for a while now. It's amazing what you had to put up with!

[silveringridd.livejournal.com]

i feel the same way, but i always add my sorry because i don't want the person in need of sorries to think that i didn't read or didn't care or whatever.

and yeah, when it's you getting the sorries, even from people you hardly know, it does feel good.

losing a pet sucks. after reading your entry, i picked up poose and djuna and squeezed them hard. of course, they hated that. but i did it anyway.

i hope you're doing ok.

It's funny how it doesn't feel like much when writing it, but it can mean so much to read it. Just a simple stupid dorky comment sends the message "I read what you wrote, and I care."
