Love, loss, fuzzy things and stupid people

  Our family has suffered quite a few losses in the past year. Most of them have been our beloved children, our animals. I had someone tell me once while i was grieving one of these losses that it was stupid to grieve that hard over the loss of "just and animal". I said nothing at the time lost in misery as i was. Now, however, i feel the need of a rebuttal. First and foremost, Fuck you. How dare you tell me that he loss of a life i have taken care of for years is trivial. I have fed them from bottles, loved them, held them, been cheered by them, fought for them, cherished them. The loss i feel is devastating. My babies are gone. I am left with an ache that will never really go away, and memories to cherish for ever. That's all i have. Secondly, the disregard of life that that one statement showed makes it very clear to me why i hate leaving my house. People suck. Animals do not. Its really that simple. I can imagine that the individual is one of those idiots who will tell you that animals don't have souls. What a load of shit. I'm not sure even where I am heading with this now so I'm gonna come to a close. I just woke up with the compulsion to write this.
