Thanks, everyone. I had the chance last weekend to visit him one last time and say goodbye, so I feel like I've been grieving since then, on and off.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

I'm so sorry, Kate.
Happy Birthday, Fred Pete!
Yep, I'm 43 today
Still a mere child.
I too would pay considerable sums of money to not be cuddled by strangers.

Me, too. (Or three, or whatever it's up to now.) Heck, I'm going to the same massage therapist that I've been seeing for the past 7 years because I've known her for over a decade and I don't have to worry about the whole "stranger touching me while I'm nekkid OMG" thing. Well, that and the fact that she's durned good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
All the best to you and your family, Kate. Thansk for telling us about him, he sounds like a wonderful person.
Fred Pete--Happy happy birthday! Celebrate up a storm!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, Kate. At least you got to see him recently.

Who are these strangers that go about extorting money from people by threatening to cuddle?

WHAT THE HELL IS A CUDDLE CADDY?
I'm seeing a person with a bag full of stuffed animals and blankies.
"What do you think Pete, number four teddy bear?"
"Judging by the angle of the body language, I'd go with a number 3 blue blanket."
"Good call Pete."
