Her Mourning, My Mourning

Me: After the crashing of the hard drive on my beloved Dell laptop that had been attached to my finger tips for many years, and after a five minute conversation with my computer guru IT Techie hubby that exposed he did NOT back up my computer last week after other computer issues and a simple request by me to please do so...

I cried with a loud voice saying, “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

Keilani: After the death of her beloved gerbil, Pilot, who lived nearly 2 ½ years bringing many hours of squeaky entertainment, Keilani cried with a muffled and depressed voice saying, “Life will never be the same! Pilot was my best friend. She was a good gerbil. She won’t roll around with us in her ball at Christmas time anymore because she’s dead. I know she was just a gerbil, but it feels like she was a human because my heart is breaking and I can’t stop it. It hurts so bad. I miss Pilot. It feels like I'm dreaming, like she’s not dead, but she is dead and I’m very very very sad.”

This picture was taken back in 2006. If you look closely you can see Pilot peaking out of the yellow tunnel.

I'm so sorry about both deaths. With the way we all rely on our computers, it truly is a mourning experience!

Hopefully, all will start looking up soon.

I know your pain. 1600+ songs, hundreds of chord charts - all locked in the vault that is my crashed laptop.

I'm still sick about it.

awww. sorry for the losses.

Faith said...

Awww, you have my sympathies...for both situations. I feel your pain!

Jewel said...

Okayyyy, I'm backing up my computer tomorrow! I've put it off but no longer!
I AM sorry about your losses, Rochelle. It is so tough helping a child deal with the loss of an animal. AND an adult with the loss of their computer. Been there. Done that. *sigh*

Bless both of your hearts! So sad!

Oh, the heartaches involved in growing up. It is always sad when our children go through the loss of something they loved - and it's sad for the parent too because they feel their child's pain.

Poor dears. You have seemed to loose so much lately. Laptops, gerbils, frogs...it's not wonder it's been a while since you blogged. Hope things get better soon!
