I feel dreadful about this. I never got to talk with Karin at the fest, and realise now that what I took for reservedness was probably just the discomfort of her illness. I wish I had made more of an effort. Terrible, that someone can go so fast. Please, Ashara, give her husband and Uwe my (and doubtlessly everyone else's) deepest feelings of sympathy. Lieve.
PS Another big hug to you for your sad loss, Ashara. I gave my mongrel Barney an extra hug last night, thinking of your Pippin. We lost our tame cockatiel by stupid accident about 5 years ago, and I was depressed for at least a week, wondering how this tiny bunch of feathers and bones had formed such an individual bond with us. He would sit on our shoulder and sing the Yellow Submarine! These are the real miracles of life... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 2:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NortheastJonifest] Continuing sadness Thank you all SO much for your kind words about the loss of my beloved dog. I had no idea I could cry this much for such a long time. Yesterday was absolutely devastating, and reading all of your posts to me have been so comforting, more than you will ever know. I will save them and re-read them often. I want to write to each one of you to thank you, but there are so many, I just don't have the energy. Please know how much they mean to me. On another very sad note, I received this message yesterday: Dear friends of Karin and Goetz, I have to tell you Karin has died last night. We are very sad. Goetz will send you a letter the next days. Uwe For those that met Karin and her husband Goetz at Jonifest, this is especially sad.
