Dear TAGS friends, I am truly touched that so many of you wrote me a personal note to send condolences about losing my dear Opie cat. Monday was one of the saddest days of my life. It has been a quiet, sad couple of days for me. For almost 20 years I have rushed home from college or work just to see my Opie and enjoy his companionship. He'd purr on my lap while I watched TAGS. To make my loss a bit easier, I tried to think about the episode in which Opie sets free the birds. He hated to do so, but he knew it was best for them. I too hated to let go of my Opie cat, but I knew it was best for him. As I was in a daze on Monday night, I tried to watch TAGS and forget. I'm so glad the episode of Barney explaining the Emancipation Proclamation was on. That's one of my favorites, and I even caught myself chuckling out loud at one point. I thought it would be awhile before I'd laugh again, but ol' Barn helped me forget momentarily. Anyway, I just want to thank my Digest friends for writing. It does help to know you have experienced loss too, even though (in Opie Taylor's words) "it makes me kinda sad." I REALLY appreciate the Mayberry-kind of kindness I have felt from y'all. Bless you.
