(1,407 posts)comedy, in the sense of life's vagaries happening to us common folk, though too often we feel it as a tragedy, as a form of our own downfall from some internal flaw.
But there is no flaw in loving.
Though it might comfort you little or not at all, know that you are not alone; no one truly is, until we ourselves pass, and with us the memories that kept others present.
In the past decade, I have lost my husband, mother, cousins, and three of my 6 friends (two of whom are really only acquaintances by now). At 76, without siblings or children, it's not always easy!
But I have never had a dog. So I have experienced neither that unconditional love nor the inevitable heartbreak of loss. That you have had the former in your life will afford you the strength to live with the latter.
And that's what makes you Lucky Charms, indeed.
