Mom is very excited because she's taking an autobiography class and her first essay is about me and how I helped heal my Dad when he had brain surgery in 2003. It's a story without a lot of funny parts and some sad parts. She's so excited that her classmates will have to read my story! Ha ha! A captive audience!

Anyhoo, Mom just wanted to share with you guys!

That would be much appreciated! Her group is going to go over it and make suggestions for her second draft. Mom would be happy to share and to see anything your Mom wrote that she wants to show off! MOL!!

Oh, Mom's classmates wants to hear less about me and more about my Dad in her story! shock Well, Mom is working on her second draft, but she's not cutting me out, no way! The piece was a little imbalanced, with a ton of stuff about my Dad in the first half, then a bunch of stuff about me in the second half! But I'm the whole point of the story, really!

It's about how I helped my Dad get better after his brain surgery in 2003! And it closes with them losing me! Someone said to Mom, "Let's face it, pets get sick and have to be put to sleep every day." Mom wasn't supposed to get defensive, so she didn't say what she wanted to say which was: "You can say the same thing about anyone! People get sick and die every day." silenced Plus, she knows no one was trying to hurt her feelings.

But that's kind of the aim of the story, to reach out to those who, maybe even for the first time in their lives, realize how strong the human-animal bond is, and how legitimate the grief of losing an animal is.

Thanks for the interest, guys. It's a long paper. Maybe Mom will put installments in my diary once it's all polished up. Mom knows you guys will appreciate it!

Bixit... We would love to read your story, mom is a writer too and LOVES reading... She feels horrible over what the person said to you... Maybe this person should have read your mom's story and let the words reach this persons brain not just see the words, well that is neither here nor there right?!?! I am glad your momma took the high road... We cannot wait to read your story!!!

Thanks, Jules. Mom is going to get it all revised these next few week nights. I'll let you guys know when it starts posting.

One of the classmates was gone last night because of the death of an animal companion. Mom's not sure who or what kind of animal, but she hopes those are the kinds of people who will like her story.

I am, by profession, a writer. I majored in Journalism and minored in English. I have been writing since I could hold a crayon. But I have never gotten over the trauma that was my Creative Writing course in college. The professor and the other students were so harsh, especially on projects that were intensely personal. I learned to just make things up for class so that I would not get my feelings hurt or get so angry. You know? They seemed to like my made-up life much better. Oh well. I'll save the real stuff for a steamy tell-all once I become famous.

You just hang in there... and save your previous drafts. Just because the people in your class don't like them doesn't mean they don't have merit. Save everything. You can use it somewhere, some time.

Thanks a lot, Abbie. I've got almost all the same info in the second draft, too. It's funny, I thought the other people's stuff was really boring and uneventful, but I didn't say so. And I certainly didn't tell them their experiences were mundane. Blah, whatever!

I'm looking forward to reading the installments when you have them ready. The healing powers of the cats ( and dogs) that share our lives are amazing,but some people just don't understand. But its wonderful when you find people who do understand. I find it interesting that sometimes it is the people that we least expect to understand are the ones who do understand
