Hey there Aunt Lou....

Posted By: andromeda on 2005-07-10
In Reply to: How was your puppy and your trip? - Aunt Lou

The trip was well worth it....my son's graduation from Marines at Parris Island was most somber, impressive and moving....his platoon was the Honor Platoon.  We are home now, however, we came back to our little tiny barrier island Friday right after graduation, (due to Hurricane Dennis), instead of Saturday.  I had my own Crucible to endure.....went for approximately 42 hours with only 3 1/2 hours of sleep....still can't sleep but BOY am I tired. 


My "puppy" made it OK at the Vet's office but still is not doing well overall.  My son asked me this morning if Chi Chi would be alive when he comes back in about a year, unfortunately I had to tell him that I did not think so.  You are so kind to remember my son and my pup.  I will post when and if there is anything going on with either of my "babies" because I know you will give me support.  Thank you and God bless you.

    Hey Aunt Lou

    My cat "Nosey" passed about 7 years ago at the age of 20.  She was most wonderful but developed kidney cancer.  You know what I did at that time, I wrote a special letter to "Nosey" telling her about her life with me and my son, all the things she loved to do, her favorite foods, her favorite toys.  I documented in that letter the day, date and time that she passed and the things that I buried with her as well as where we buried her, overlooking the lake amongst the flower garden and telling her the beautiful new rosebush we planted next to her in remembrance!  I put one copy in a ziplock bag with her and kept one in her file in my desk.  I have a file for all my babies.  I do truly hope she has a couple more good years with you.  I am sure she knows your love and will always be looking to see you again after she has passed.  If perchance you go first, you will only blaze the trail for her!!


    Thanx Aunt Lou
    Now I need every one to pray for my 17 1/2 year old Pup.....I MUST leave Wednesday for Parris Island to pick up my son from the Marines for his 10 day leave.....but my little dog is not doing too well right now.  I have already made arrangements for him to stay at the vets while I am gone for four days....but, believe me, that does not make me feel that great.  I want to be with him.  I thought about taking him with me but then worry that the trip will be too much, although he loves to ride in the car; he's really never been left behind before.  What in the world should I do????  I will be staying at the military hotel on the base and they don't allow pets!  The only thing in the world that comes before my "puppy" is my son.. but this could be a bitter sweet trip.  I will be so much more than happy to see my son again, but I most definitely want to be with my dog when the time comes.  So please say some prayers and ask that Chi Chi will hang in there long enough until my son and I return!  After all these years together it would seem so unfair for us to not be together at that time.  Any support and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
    To aunt lou
    Not off - right here with you. I haven't stopped working since I got up and will be on until midnight. Then, tomorrow, I start again for another 8 hours.

    Merry Christmas! I don't want to sound like Pollyanna, but I'm glad to have the work. Didn't have any last Christmas season, so I'm just thinking to myself that things are looking brighter.
    My aunt really did not like it when
    she broke her hip and rehab came to see her. She said not much time spent on her as typing away on that computer.
    Not a Mom, just step-Mom and aunt

    I tried for years to have a child, lost many early on in pregnancy and it was many years ago prior to the advances that they have now adays.  But I do have two step-daughters -- one remembers me one does not even though I am divored from their father.  She and I have stayed close and neither have seen their Dad since our divorce.  But I have two nephews and a niece in the area that I am very close to who now have children ranging from 4 to 18.  One of my great nephews told me yesterday,  I am not a Mom but close, better than a Grandma because I am special Aunt Patti.  So that made my day.   For some reason the Lord chose for me to be that special person to my many nephews and nieces which I truly enjoy.   And I get to send home when they become "too much".   Love it and cherish my time with them.  


     


    oops, Great-aunt's name was Molly *lol*...nm

    cigs took out my parents, grandparents, aunt

    Unfortunately, I still smoke though - it's the worst drug habit I have encountered in my many decades.  For me, it's the only drug habit I have had.  It's tough, so I sympathize with the ones who are trying to quit and KUDOS TO THE ONES WHO HAVE!!!!!
