In Memory of Patches

Heartbreaking moment
She held her cat lovingly
Life left its body

My friend and college roommate lost her pet cat, Patches, yesterday. Patches died at a ripe, old age of 15ish. Alison and I both had cats when we roomed together. Sadie died a few years ago, and now we lost Patches. I know some people think it's dorky to grieve over a pet, but these pets were our friends . . . and they were a source of fun and funny stories of our time we lived together in college.

Alanna's Backache

Sister's back is out.
She can barely move around.
She's at my mercy.


My sister hurt her back yesterday and can barely move. She's no cry baby, so when I heard her weeping I knew she was hurting. Her appendix burst when she was a teenager. She barely complained - we didn't know how sick she was. She ALMOST DIED from it and was in the hospital for a month. So, when I say Sissy is no sissy when it comes to pain, you know it's true. Her back must really be hurting her. Poor sister, huh?

Allergies

Pounding, throbbing pain.
Eyelids heavy, weary ache
Allergy attack.
