FYI: September is Cholesterol Education Month, Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month and Apple Month. I Hate Apples.

Dear September 2013,

I get it. You hate me. I don't know what I ever did to you, but whatevs. You're a dick and in 3 days I will be done with you.
I don't know what kind of fucked up kid's game this is, but in better times I might want to play it.
I came home yesterday to find Nacho having seizures and semi-comatose. He had pooped and peed and was just lying there in it, twitching. Long story short, I rushed him to the ER Pet Hospital where he has been ever since. I guess his blood sugar dropped and he went into diabetic shock; we don't know how long he had been like that but it's now the next day, we are $3,000 into this and he is still in a coma. The vet says that all we can do now is wait to see how severe the brain damage is...

So yes, it is September, my mom died and MY CAT HAS BRAIN DAMAGE. Fuck you, September.

Tomorrow is my mom's memorial and I have no idea what to say.

But I do know I am coming at October with a nosegay of flowers and a timid little smile.

Not an x, not an o, not a love, but a dash--
-S

Susannah, I'm so sorry. It just feels like another kick in the teeth. This quote has saved me at times: "If you are going through Hell, keep going."

I too am sending my love. All I can tell you about your moms memorial is just speak from your heart and like you did here on the blog you will capture your moms beautiful essence. Like we did with my dads memorial after he was murdered was, we wanted to celebrate the beautiful life he lived not how it was ended. Smile, cry and laugh - your mom will be there with you. Lots of hugs to you! xxoo

When it rains it pours! So sorry about Nachos too. You know how comedians get through all of it - they tell a joke, make people laugh, while their heart is bleeding.

Be brave! For Zoey and Ozzy who'll be sitting there too....
