My cat she died almost 2 years ago now just before xmas. I dont think ill ever get over it
Nostalgia Who are you missing on Christmas?
- Thread starter mal3volent
- Start date
I'll be 67 in June. The list is long. Top of the list, my Mother and all my German Shepherds that have passed on. I'm a single "elderly orphan" ...my parents and siblings are all gone so that's what I am labeled now, a "elderly orphan." I find it amusing actually !.. Now give me one of those fkn handicap parking tags I can hang off my mirror! LOL
I too, also outlived my parents and only sibling. Sure I have other relatives in other parts of America. I miss my immediate family greatly and to a much lesser extent my German Shepard( they're overall, the finest breed of dog in the world). I am in the latter part of my 40's.
I never married( or have any children, that I know of).
I have family in other parts of America but, it has been a very long time since I have seen most or many( would be meeting my cousins' spouses' and their children for the first time); That catching a plane flight or a long, or very very long drive would be a waste of time and money.
Besides, I have never even met my cousin's spouses' and in some cases only saw my cousins when they were a baby or not at all; let alone their kids. Why spend Christmas with a bunch of strangers a few estranged relatives or a couple of older ones? lol
I guess I am a middle aged orphan, sort of. lol

More than anyone, I miss my beloved dog Dixie Chick.
She was a rescued (abused) pitbull and the sweetest, kindest, funniest, most devoted friend I've ever had. She literally saved my life when I was in the depths of alcoholism & suicidal depression. I put her down a couple months ago-- the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was time. I'll always miss her.
Secondly, I miss my Mom. She's still alive but has dementia, so she's not the smart, funny, fiercely independent lady who raised me. Well, at times she can still be funny-- she just doesn't realize it. Dementia is truly a fate worse than death.
Please try to be kind to yourself and others.
Now and always.

Pitbull owners always say how sweet they are, especially the female ones. They are apparently also very smart, friendly and loyal. People who have them absolutely love them.
They have been given a bad reputation because of those pieces of shit who breed and train them to fight. Like Michael Vick, used too.
i can totally relate. she sounds like an absolute sweetheart. do you have a picture you can post?
my last gf's rescue pittie - bella - was the gentlest creature i have ever met. she's no longer with us but i think about her often:

LOL@ "Middle Aged Orphan." I guess we can call you a MAO !
I too never had kids, I was married, we never had any kids (thank God) and after only 3 years of marriage I found her having an affair on me. I divorced her ass asap. I currently have 2 GSD's and they fill the void of "family" for me. At 66, my circle of friends is pretty small too. As you age you just don't want any bullshit in your life. I was once a bigtime extrovert and now I'm a total Introvert. A lot of things changed during and after the covid bullshit along with all the political stuff here in the USA. I had to just cut some people out of my life.
My childhood was pretty cool, I went through it in the 60s and 70s ( a pretty decent time) so I have some great memories. Man, has shit changed, and IMO, not for the better. And this is why I like my oxy meds (same dose in the last 7 years) and benzos..when I can get them. I guess it's my "escape" from a world now that I no long like, nor do I fit in it. I think a lot of us use drugs or alcohol as an "escape." "Pick your poison" is an old quote. But for many of us, the "escape" is get out of this fucked up world, coming from a fkd up family, various mental/physical traumas and thrown into a fkd up planet where we are nothing but slaves. A Prison Planet. The Matrix. Hell, even Christmas is questionable and it's very possible the entire "story" (Santa, Elves, Jesus B-day, Biblical stuff, etc) is based on Amanita Muscaria mushrooms ! And even the dates are all fkd up as the calendar was changed from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian calendar in the 1500's. And music was changed in Hertzs as well.
Can y'all tell I'm from the 60/70s? LOL I think its evident.

She was a sweetheart for sure.
Check out my avatar. It's my favorite pic of her-- in "our" bed.

Very true.
Pitties are extremely loyal and will act however their owners want them to act.
