kohala, with tears in my eyes I've read about Grasshopper's passing... A friend who has been with you for so long leaves a lot of empty space.

But she was blessed with a long life full of friendship and love, and now that her body was fading, you helped her to ease her pain and let her pass. She must have been about my RB Katz's age. She was also born in 1986 and I had to let her go 4 years ago. I'm still missing her, but the grief will change with the passing of time.

The love and the memory remains!

R.I.P. Grasshopper,

Kirsten
