I love the continuity of people reading my blog back in the day. I’m so glad to offer comfort; loss is brutal and it’s one of the few things I know about. xoxo

I recently googled your blog, and was overjoyed to find that you are still writing! Your posts are just as comforting now as before. I’ve spent the day catching up on what I’ve missed. I recently lost a dear friend quite suddenly, and although it absolutely cannot compare to the loss of your son, your posts about grief including this one on the adorable dik-dik are soothing. Grieving is natural and we all find our own way. I’ve said too much now. You are great and please do keep writing 🙂

Yes, it was “problematic”, I just chose to interpret it as cute. Sorry to scare you!

person very much in possession of a core. You manage to be incredibly funny even though this unimaginable horror appears to have happened in your life. You excoriate haters and assholes in your writing yet you’re so kind and courteous in your responses to the comments here. I read your blog at night when my world is darker than usual. I always feel better afterward.
The dik-dik is adorable, but I found the nose extension at :21 mildly frightening.

Miranda – Dik-dik and otters, our consolation for being humans.
