It's been a tough week. On Wednesday we lost our beautiful Merlin. It came totally out of the blue - one day he has a bit of a cough, then suddenly he is riddled with lung cancer. I was really hoping we would not have to go through this again for a couple of years, after losing Mystic just last year, and Misere.
I have been on the 'City Experience' with my year 9's all week. It's been exhausting, and stressful at times, but on the plus side, I've been too busy during the day, and too tired at night to really dwell on it. But we both keep forgetting momentarily, and getting up to let him outside, or keeping leftovers for him. I made pancakes last night, and they weren't very good - Merlin always had to have the first 'test' one out of the pan.
Merlin has been with us for almost our whole married life - he leaves a big hole in my heart.

Suz...I know you know my heart is breaking for you. You've been so supportive with me dealing with Rose and now for this to happen so suddenly to Merlin. Know that I am comforted by the fact that when it's time for Rose, that Merlin will be at the bridge to help her across. But that is small comfort to you right now I know. Cyber hugs just are enough right now.
So by now Rose and Merlin have probably linked up and are exchanging notes on who had the best "people". I'm sorry I only got to know Merlin by photos and am comforted that you met my Rosie girl...
Lisa, I am so sorry you are having to go through this too. Give Nash a big hug from me!
