My last dog (seems a bit of a theme on here).
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't hurt that much when my Gran died, even though she had pretty well brought me up while my mum was working to feed us. I don't think I even cried when my mum died but I was a selfish little cvnt in my late teens early 20's.
I've been sad when my other dogs have died but Brodie was something special. I got him as a rescue and he was five then, the most gentle trusting soul you could ever want. Sadly I only had seven years with him and some of those I was still serving at sea. The day I had to take him to the vets because he couldn't walk any more was the worst day of my life, made even worse because he was still as sharp as a pin mentally and knew something was not normal.
RIP my friend.

I had forgotten that watching The Repair Shop sometimes brings tears to my eyes when I see how emotional people become with their restored memories.
So I managed to hold the tears back.
But only just.

Thursday, after I carried my brother's coffin into the service.
I'm normally pretty stoic, but seeing a slideshow of us as kids and later photos of us together with our wives and kids prompted a few chest heaves and a leaky eye or two. The music didn't help either.
He was only 55, heart attack. He was my older brother so literally known him my whole life. Sad for me, but I'm even more sad for his wife and grown up kids. ____________________ 2016 CBF1000F - Commuter heaven | 1994 CBR600FR - Awaiting defibrillation |

Was asked to read out In Flanders Fields today at work, only a tiny little ceremony, only about 30 people attended.
Nearly lost it on the third line, dunno why. Managed to just reduce it to a voice wobble and finished it without incident.
While they were putting up the wreaths, my mate Neil executed a particularly perfect salute and I was all aquiver again.
But I was determined not to cry in front of my boss and the Chief Executive  ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Last cried when my missus popped her clogs. I was crying with happiness until I remembered that she had no insurance. Then I cried again  |
