Out of the dark

[winter]

Thank you everyone for the kind comments on my last post. Mourning is never easy, but we're managing. I'm afraid I'm not yet at the stage when I can answer them without crying.

It helps that there's still Lestat, the kindest, most golden-hearted feline vampire ever to walk the earth. He follows us around the flat, cuddles up with me at night, and each time we mention Tonio's name he looks around in frightened puzzlement. "Where is he? When is he coming back?"

(And there are other things. fyrie sent an amazing Elisabeth gift. I had tickets, bought back in September, for a Disney concert with certain someones, and yesterday I both teared up at the wonderful orchestrations - Disney tugs on heart-strings like no other - and melted a little at having Krolock, in full Krolock mode if not in the costume, sing If I can't love her with thunder and lightning and swirling an invisible cloak. Tomorrow, I'm going to be seeing our Herbert sing Spamalot duets at himself. It all helps.)

We'll be going to the seaside for Christmas after all, leaving on Tuesday evening so that we can bury my darling at the lakeside cottage on Wednesday. I'll be back on Sunday evening, but since the grandparents have a net connection, I won't be fully absent.

*facepalm* I don't think I ever saw that post, and I can't seem to find it even now...

*hugs real tight* I'm really, really sorry about Tonio, I know he meant a lot to you and it always hurts to lose those closest to our heart. I do believe that he is watching over you from kittie heaven. Pet Lestat extra for me? *virtually snuggles you*

Unrelated: Still no sign of the DVDs? It's been almost a month now... Two times in a row that they are lost? I'm starting to get worried here. X_X

♥ I do hope things continue to be manageable! Also, B+B makes me bawl like nothing else. I know the cartoon is the original or whatever, but between Home and If I Can't Love Her I would take the Broadway any day. Best songs ever.

Hopefully you'll be manageable ♥!

Disney tugs on heart-strings like no other

Disney sure does know how to work in the waterworks and it does so for me as well, :(

I'm glad you've got Lestat to cuddle.

I'm so sorry about your cat *hugs* I'm sorry I missed your pot on the 16th, as I've only been checking LJ sporadically since early Tuesday when my in-laws arrived. I've been in charge of entertaining them most of the week (and cooking for them) so I only read LJ posts intermittently. I want to apologize for that and offer once again my condolences, I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a beloved cat.

I missed your earlier post. I'm so sorry you lost your darling kitty.
