Skipping and sadly ignoring ongoing conversations, in order to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Nora Deirdre's birthday.
Happy birthday, Nora! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy birthday, Nora!

He doesn't really want to be petted or picked up--just to be left alone. He is growing incontinent and barely eats. However, he seems comfortable and in no pain. He basically stays in one place all day and dozes.
I am going to say the hard thing. It doesn't sound like he has a really high quality of life right now. And pets hide their pain. Not eating and not wanting any attention or comfort doesn't sound like the cat you've described before to me. I am really sorry. It's very hard.

It turns out that roasting peaches with brown sugar, butter, a dash of cinnamon and a sprinkle of vanilla, and then topping them with a dab of salted caramel gelato is possibly the best thing I have ever done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, that sounds amazing.
Happy birthday, Nora!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a pretty damn good thing for anyone to have done.
Many happy returns, Nora!

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.
