My heart. As I said on the Buffistas group on FB, I gasped. Why? Why would I gasp when we have been holding vigil for days? I think it was my body physically reacting to the loss of Jacqueline in our world. It takes my breath away.
I did too. I was also shocked at myself. And I then was in an Uber with tears running down my face.
But she truly was their Snoodler-In-Chief.
Like everyone else, I am going through each and every photo of JZ on FB and the ones with the pigs are some of her most blissed-out expressions.

When she was still commuting in to work, she'd come home, grab a pig, stick it on her chest, and I'd hand her a martini.
Truly there's not a mammal on earth she couldn't gentle. They all felt safe under her touch.
I haven't talked about it that much but my sister is also at end stage of her cancer. She has a couple weeks maybe. Matilda has encouraged me to go see her while I can so I'll be making a quick trip to Georgia very soon.
Oh David. This is far too much.
Love and blessings from a lurker.
I forgot to say: David, please let me know if you need anything, like a ride to the airport or food delivered.
Also, I know how to ululate - I learnt from watching Xena
I hope comfort SEEKS you out.
Pumpkin was snorpurring on my head & feral-but-not-to-me Maple was purring on my lap when I read. We stayed that way for a while.
Deepest condolences to all those who are grieving the loss of JZ's vibrant spirit. I've been humming Dona Nobis Pacem.
I'm so sorry, David.
All the love to you, to Emmett, to Matilda and to all your family.
