Tyler Tuesday: Paying my respects.....

-
On this Tyler Tuesday, I visited Tyler's grave.

The final resting place of my first ever cat.

Tyler.

I hadn't visited since before the winter, so I wanted to make sure nothing was damaged, and that his gravestone was still in place.

Despite some overgrowth, and some dog poop nearby, all was in order.  Ashley and I plan on doing some beautification to his grave site in the next week or so.  Well....more her than me.  She's Italian with a green thumb.....I happen to be the polar opposite.

It wasn't a long visit, but I stood at his grave for a few moments.  

Reflecting.  Remembering.

"I love you and miss you old man"  I muttered just under my breath.

If you have the good fortune of a final resting place for your beloved pet that crossed the Rainbow Bridge, taking a piece of your heart with them.....pay them a visit soon.  If you aren't so fortunate, find a favorite photo of your beloved pet.  

Reflect.

Remember.

I'm convinced that wherever the Rainbow Bridge happens to be, they know........

Until we meet again.

    For no other reason Dan - you are a good man for loving and honoring your cat. The loss of my boy, Cajun, last November is still raw and now his brother from a different mother is declining. Time and disease waits for no man nor animal and so the time and love afforded to them is precious. Peace to you....

Originally written in May 2015.  September 11 th .  2001. That day of days.   I was working at the time at BAM: the Brooklyn Academy of Music.  Even then it was what a former girlfriend referred to as “hipster doofus.”  BAM is a Brooklyn performing arts institution.  Modern dance, modern arts, from what I understand they put on great shows.  I did see Pete Townshend there once.  I, however, can't dance. I look like I’m making wine when I dance. STOMP STOMP STOMP.  It isn't pretty.  The rest of the area had yet to become the hip downtown Brooklyn it has since become.  I grew up walking distance to the Cyclone, so I remember the REAL Brooklyn. I remember the real bagels and the real bialys.  Do you all know what a bialy is? The Barclays Center?  Nope, it was a parking lot at the time. What was I doing there you might ask?  At the time I still thought I could make a career out of working in Museums.  The truth ...
