Sadness...

Kathy's roommate (ex now-she moved out of state a few weeks ago), Terri...has had a great loss! Her ex, Vance, suddenly passed away a couple of nights ago. I don't know what happened to him. And I won't ask her. She's really struggling with this. :/ I never met him. But they dated several years ago & remained friends after. He was really special to her. I "knew" him cuz she talked about him. I "knew" him cuz, in the last yr & a half, I've been involved with convos on her FB page with him. By all accounts, he was just a really super guy. His personality & sense of humor was amazing! I don't think he ever posted anything that I didn't chuckle at! So all of this time that has passed...I DO feel like I "know" him...a little bit. I was just looking through his pics (his FB account is still open). He had 2 kittens, Ponce (named for Ponce de Leon) & Floyd (named for Pink Floyd). Super precious!! I started crying!! :-( These babies are gonna be so lost without their Daddy!! I wonder about what's going to happen to them? Who is going to take them? It's a shame that...I'm not crying about him or the pain that Terri is enduring...but, rather, the loss the kittens will feel. I mean, yes...I *do* feel bad about him & about Terri but the REAL pain isn't coming from that. I've already been saying it for a few months now...& this is ULTIMATE proof right here...I've lost ALL empathy for humans!! I have always been a hyper-sentimental person. My entire life. It was just a part of who I was. That part of me is dead now. It's actually a pretty devastating realization. I look to those who caused it with great sadness. I hope they are content with themselves. Sara, Ben, Tanya, Neenah, Kathy, Lee...thanks for literally killing a core part of who I was. You should be proud of yourselves...

*sighs*

Those precious furry babies...Vance's life being cut too short...Terri experiencing a pain she never deserved...let's all sleep soundly tonight & avoid realizing how fragile life really is. Be AWARE of how you treat people!! Tomorrow is NEVER guaranteed...
