But every story I see about his death just hits me in the feels.

Mine was so attached to me, and me to her, that even if I went on a short vacation she would run away, looking for me, not eat or sleep, etc. If I died first she would not understand and it would likely kill her from stress and a broken heart. Meanwhile, I'm miserable without her but we will be together again, I know that.

I'm so glad to see all the admiration and accolades being directed at Lightfoot. I listened to him and admired him for more than 50 years.

His dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves.
