bonny, I'm so sorry about Bartleby. Please do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself, and come back whenever you feel ready. (I don't know if you will, or expect you to, read this but if you do not, then I hope you still feel all the love we have for you.)
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Bonny, I'm so very sorry.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
You did two very hard things for him: you fought the good fight and you let him go.
What Ginger said. I cried some yesterday when I got the news, and cried again today reading your post. Remember that there are no "shoulds" in grief - you feel how you feel. There will be plenty of time to remember the joy, right now you are feeling the loss, for it is enormous. My heart aches for you.

bonny, I'm lost for words. I'm very, very sorry. And yes, what WS said: please take care of yourself.

What a grievous loss, bonny. You moved the world on its axis to do everything you could to save him. But it was the right choice to let him go. I am very saddened by your news, and my heart goes out to you.

So very sorry Bonny. Wishing you much comfort.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Bonny, I'm so sorry for your loss. Hec, Ginger, and smonster all say it so well; holding you in my thoughts.

I endorse this to-do item.
It is the cracktastic love child of Samoas and no-bake cookies. Oh my lord.
Post marked.
There is only one other person in the office right now, and I'm taking advantage of using a computer with marginally better ergonomics and speakers, all the better to listen to Pandora's Indie Holidays station. Man, I hope we get to go home early today. There's a house that needs insulating; I'm doing admin stuff, but I'd feel bad if I left early while my crew was still out there working. But I might do it anyway, for my errand list is daunting and I'm having dinner with StW.

Oh, no. Bonny and Bartleby. I'm so, so sorry. I can't even find the words to express my sorrow for you. You are in my thoughts and my heart.
