Condolences (Almost) All the Way Around

IMAO has suffered a loss. Unfortunately, Spacemonkey’s Papaw (grandfather) recently passed away.
Lair lost a cat. It’s name was Piper. I would offer condolences, but it’s a cat. Buy another one, dammit! They sell them everywhere. Except for the fur patterns, they all look pretty much alike and all of them do absolutely nothing.
Spacemonkey’s grandpa was a good man, who worked hard his whole life to raise a good family and pass on the values that make Spacemonkey the monkey (or man) that he is today. A result of the love, hard work, praise, correction, and love of God that perfuses the Spacemonkey family to this day.
My condolences go out to Spacemonkey and his family in this time of heartache.
Lair, you know I love you like the Jewish brother I never had. If you need a new cat, I can mail one to you.
Spacemonkey, call me when you get the chance.

  1. Grandparents can be very special people. Sounds like Spacemonkey’s was one of those. My condolences to him and his family. My grandpa (we called him hitler) encouraged me to join the army and kill. He was a good man, even though we called him hitler. Gramma called him hitler, so we thought it was okay. We did not call gramma eva braun however. But I digress, I miss my grandparents as spacemokey will miss his grandpa. Our fond memories of them will keep hin alive forever. Hooo ah!

  2. spacemonkey, I lift a glass to your grand da. may he rest in peace. and and old Irish blessing:
    May he be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows he’s dead.
    my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. I bid you peace love and understanding
