didn’t figure out i was autistic at all until my 30s. why? well in a funny twist of what some might call irony but probably isn’t: one of my main special interests since childhood... people. behavior. how folks feel vs how they behave, why they do things, what motivates them. i became a “peacemaker” type as a kid because i could observe an argument between two people and fairly accurately guess how each felt and was able to kind of... do some emotional translation for both of them to help them find an understanding. and BECAUSE of this, people were like “you’re wise/good with people/etc” and for years people also said “that means you’re not autistic, because autism means not being good at socializing”

but like. i’m not? i’m OKAY at socializing. but since childhood i’ve found a lot more success in just being the observer. WATCHING people, paying extremely close attention, that’s what i was good at. i learned early to never TELL people outright i was doing that, people get weird when you say you’re observant and have noticed their behavior/emotions/etc

I don’t regret this being a special interest of mine. It’s been an uphill battle since my 20s to figure out how to be a PART of all that socialization? (and i still feel like i constantly fuck it up, translating the neurotypical habits mid-conversation is much harder than observing it as an outsider and having more time to process it) But... I like that I’m an observer. I like that I can see the clear causes and effects of emotions that people have, their experiences, how it can all bleed together? I like it. I’m glad my childhood brain decided to latch onto the concept of People and humanity in general. It can get frustrating sometimes feeling like the only one in a group of people trying to be considerate of what the others are going through but... I still wouldn’t give that up. I’m glad I’m weird about humans. They’re pretty great actually.

SNB 20 questions

(A very important notice: SNB = Sengoku Night Blood)

I was bored and was waiting for my BP to regenerate. This is just my personal thoughts and so I hope I won’t offend someone. Anyway, enjoy!

1. What are your username and your MC name at the moment?

My username is YukinaMika and the MC is みか

2. Which clan did you start with? Have you finished the main story of that clan?

I started with Uesugi and have already finished chapter 10 so unless they release more chapters, I have nothing left to read.

3. Which card did you get on your first roll? Your thoughts?

Kakizaki Kageie, SR (4*), Red. I think the name is ‘A lucky break?’.

4. Which of your cards reached maximum level first?

None have. I don’t do much grinding.

5. Which event was your first? How did it go?

The Toyotomi and Mouri event in early June 2018 and it actually went well and I ranked 13k or something. My first was the collab SNB x Code: Realize but I read the 1st chapter and then forgot about it so...

6. How many cards have you awakened? Which is your favorite? Please tell us about your first time.

35 in total. My favorite awakening would be Masanobu’s. His design - whether pre-awakening or post-awakening - is good. The visor hat in his pre-awakening is weird but I’m used to it. And the story is just... >//<

About my first time dealing with awakening, I think it was Kagekatsu’s. It was pretty cute with the head-pat and all... >//<

7. Aside from the main story of the clan you started with, how many have you finished?

I finished chapter 10 of Date and Takeda. Currently on chapter 7 of Sanada. So far, the werewolves armies are pretty great.

9. How many card stories have you read? Which one is your favorite?

87 in total. My favorite is Sanada Yukimura S (2*), Red, ‘Born to be loved’. Why? Because it has a kitten. A very cute and precious story.

9. Which army is your favorite? Why?

Not Oda or Toyotomi. They put me on the edge just by reading the translation of their routes. It’s like being in the middle of a chess game and instead of small statues, the chess pieces are living, breathing people.

Can’t pick a favorite but I would prefer Date. Like, don’t get me wrong, Takeda and Sanada are great and warm and Uesugi has their own kind of charm but I don’t know? And yes, I still remember the dungeon thingy at the beginning but let’s be real here, Kagemochi tried to kill MC in the first part of chapter 1. I have nothing against Takeda or Sanada but I’m an introvert and I prefer a more calming environment.

Date isn’t exactly calming with Masamune’s unpredictableness and Shigezane’s energy but they have like 3 people and I have trouble interacting with a large group so that’s kind of okay in my book... Maybe it’s the floppy ears too?:3

So Date > Uesugi = Takeda >Sanada > Oda = Toyotomi

10. Who is/are your favorite character/s? Why? What do you think of them?

Kagekatsu. He’s cute and I can somewhat relate to his lack of confidence. He’s actually quite straightforward and honest.

Masanobu. HIs consideration and his ‘People are somewhat always alone, etc...’! I could have cried during that if I hadn’t been so tired from studying.

11. How many login letters have you gotten? From whom?

2, from Hideyoshi and Kamanosuke.

12. What are your thoughts about the armies?

Oda - They makes me edgy even though I know they aren’t villains, per se. Their designs are great though!

Toyotomi - Again, they make me edgy, especially Hideyoshi. But again, their designs are just so good!

I don’t know why but the vampires makes me uncomfortable.

Uesugi - I started with them so I feel a somewhat loyalty to them but I don’t know? Kenshin’s ideal is great and all but somehow, I feel it’s naive? But I’m pretty naive too since Kenshin’s ideal is actually the reason why I chose to start with them.

Takeda - In general, they are so warm and welcoming but I can just feel tragedy looming in the distance. I never thought I would actually like them. I mean, Shingen’s color actually hurts my eyes with how bright it is but now, I’m used to it. It’s not as obvious as Sanada or Date but I think ‘family’ and ‘friends’ are the words I heard most often in this route. And ‘herbs’ and ‘Shingen-sama’ and ‘Uesugi’, etc...

Sanada - The family theme is strong and they are just so precious. Like puppies! With their tails and energy! I’m worried about them. They are small, not as small as Date but still small and they are just so kind?

Date - They are like the definition of ‘family’! The beginning is a bit rocky with the dungeon and Masamune’s mood-swings but it gets better in the later chapters. They are so small and so ambitious. Masamune’s plans are crazy but they work and I really have to admire Shigezane and Kojuurou for sticking around after so many crazy plans like that.

Looks like I prefer werewolves. Even though I don’t like canines in general.

Mouri - I don’t actually feel much about them but Terumoto is cute and from what I’ve heard, Takakage is like Kanetsugu but worst.

13. What are your thoughts about the MC/Yuzuki?

I like her. In every route, she has a different role. A retainer in Oda. A supposed fiancee in Toyotomi. An assistant in Uesugi. A herbalist in Takeda. I’m not exactly sure what is her official role in Sanada and Date but she goes on trips with the boys to find the sacred treasure. And Mouri, well, is a mystery. They have only 5 chapters at the moment so maybe in the future?

Back to the main topic, the anime version of the MC could be worst so I don’t think much about it.

And she’s cute too!

14. If you were the MC, which army would you ally yourself with to ensure your survival? Why?

I would ally with Oda. The way they spend their money in Toyotomi makes me nervous. Kenshin’s ideal is too naive and the roller-coaster of emotions in the later chapters reinforces that impression. Shingen isn’t at his best with his health and all so... Sanada is too inexperienced and naive... Date is okay but they are small. So Oda is probably the best bet.

The advantage is that you get free education. In other routes, you can too but I feel like in Oda’s, it is more in depth? Like Nobunaga wants the best and the MC is his retainer.

In Uesugi, Kagemochi does teach Shinga letters but it’s just that! No physical training and given how often the MC is kidnapped in Uesugi, I thought they would have put more attention on her physical training? Like I know she can’t fight like a professional but if she could outrun her attackers... But then no one thinks Shingen would actually ride a horse into a castle or Date with their double kidnapping attempts like that. I wonder if Uesugi’s security is too lax or something. I mean, except Uesugi’s route, the MC has never been kidnapped twice in a route.

In Takeda, I don’t know if the MC can actually read Shinga letters but she knows about herbs and all but if I remember correctly, Mitsuhide also teaches her about the herbs in Shinga by bringing her a picture book?

Anyway, my grandfather said the goal of education is to educate the mind, the heart and the body. Like you have knowledge but your health is bad or your morale is corrupted, you aren’t a good person. Or when you have strength but lacks knowledge or kindness, you’re just a bad bully. Same when you are a kind person but you are ignorant or suffering from illness, you can’t do good things.

Back to the topic, I feel like Oda is the best bet since well, Oda is a force to reckon with, as the MC, you get free education which could boost your surviving chance. The drawback is that Oda has some kind of possessive undertone that I don’t like and the MC is just a chess piece there. There’s just no warmness that I can feel.

15. What made you join the fandom?

Aramaki Yoshihiko and Maeno Tomoaki. And Kagekatsu’s design.

Actually, the most of the Uesugi commanders share the same voice actors as some of the Touken Danshi.

Kanetsugu’s VA voices Uguisumaru and I was so shocked to find out about that.

Kagemochi’s VA voices Juzumaru, who I am still looking for but I don’t mind if he takes longer to come home.

Kageie’s VA voices Hachisuka and it was quite a shocking discovery.

Kenshin’s VA voices Mikazuki, the face of Touken Ranbu.

Kagekatsu’s VA plays the role of Yamanbagiri Kunihiro in Touken Ranbu Stageplay.

So apparently, I joined SNB because of Touken Ranbu.

16. Is there any improvement you hoped to be included in the future?

Maybe some other ways to find battle carved stones in-game?

17. Have you done any fanwork (fanfiction, fanart, cosplay, etc.) or translation? If you don't mind, please share some details with us.

Yes. I wrote fanfiction. Only 1 so far. And I’m currently translating a card story to improve my Japanese. It has a cat so I have more than enough motivation to finish it.

As for fanfiction, I posted it on AO3. It’s a Touken Ranbu crossover. Click me!

18. If there is a collab event with another game/anime/etc, what would you like to see?

Touken Ranbu though I know I would be screwed if that happened. Gacha never likes me and I don’t do well in ranking so...

19. Have you spent money on SNB? If not, do you plan to?

No but maybe, in the future if I have enough.

20. Lastly, please say something about SNB from the bottom of your heart!

I would like to say thank you to the staffs for their hard work. And I would like to wish the stageplay in August 2018 to be well-received by the fans and non-fans alike.

Sengoku Night Blood: Sanada Army (Ch 0: A Welcome, Welcome to the Sanada Army!)

????(Sasuke): What should we do? We can’t just leave her here

????(Saizou): You’re right. For starters shall we trying waking them up?

????(Kamanosuke): ...Whatever. It doesn’t really matter

(....? Huh...? Where am I...?)

????(Sasuke): ...oh, it looks like they’re awake!

????(Sasuke): You collapsed here. Are you alright? Did you hit your head?

(Eh, who’s this? I don’t know these people at all...)

????(Saizou): Move aside, Sasuke

*shoves*

Sasuke: bwaa....!

????(Saizou): To wake up and see you, she’d be feeling down don’t you think? Good grief.

????(Saizou): Are you hurt, how do you feel?

Heroine: U-Umm, that’s....just where exactly am I-

Sasuke: Why you...Saizou! How dare you!? Don’t try and appear cool just because there’s a girl here!

Saizou: Good grief, what a noisy person. Be a little quieter, she just woke up after all

Sasuke: What was that, why you!

(T-There’s a lot of things I want to ask and yet, I can’t ask a thing...)

????(Kamanosuke): Lets....hurry on back already. Fuwaa~...

(Ah, if it’s this person then-)

Heroine: Um, excuse me...

????(Kamanosuke): ...hm, what? I’m really tired right now....fuwaa~ I want to go home already

(what should I do....those two are arguing, and it seems like it would be hard to talk to the other one anymore than this....even though there’s a lot of things I want to ask, what should I do...)

????(Yukimura): Oi, you guys!

????(Yukimura): Are you fighting again?

????(Nobuyuki): Come on Sasuke, Saizou, Kamanosuke! We’re in the middle of exterminating evil demons. You shouldn’t go running off on your own

Saizou: No, you’re wrong. From the beginning it was Sasuke that went off and acted on his own

Sasuke: Ah, unfair! Don’t think about pushing all the blame onto me!

Kamanosuke: ...That aside, I didn’t even do anything and you’re mad at me...

Saizou: You’re always the one pushing the blame onto me!

Saizou: Like before you were the one who ate Kamanosuke’s dango, yet they suspected me even though I was only cleaning the dishes...no one believe me...!

Kamanosuke: Eh, you were the one who ate my dango Sasuke?

Sasuke: Eh, ah, no, that’s....! Naturally I knew I shouldn’t but, my stomach was grumbling...

Kamanosuke: ....Unforgivable

????(Nobuyuki): You lot, behave yourselves!

????(Yukimura): Haha! Well, like this we were able to meet up again, what a relief

????(Yukimura): By the way...what’s with this girl?

Sasuke: The truth is this girl fell here earlier

????(Yukimura): Wha! Fell? ....Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

Heroine: Y-Yes. I’m probably fine

????(Nobuyuki): Hmm. They don’t appear to be injured, but why in such a place...

????(Yukimura): Alright, then for starters lets leave here before the evil demons appear. Then go back to our-

Kamanosuke: ....it looks like we’re too late

(W-What is that creature!?)

????(Nobuyuki): Sasuke, Saizou, Kamanosuke. Can we leave this to you?

Sasuke: Of course. Obviously you can!

Saizou: My lady, please leave this to me

Kamanosuke: ...Eh? Do I have to fight too?

Saizou: Hmph, Ugly monster. Burn the sight of my magnificent ninjitsu into your memories

????(Yukimura): Lets go back to our place

????(Yukimura): It’s alright, don’t be scared. We’ll take you somewhere safe

(Eh? Eh? No matter how you look at it it’s a castle isn’t it....)

????(Yukimura): Are you tired? Are you alright?

Heroine: Y-Yes. I’m fine

????(Yukimura): I see, then i’m glad. Speaking of which.....where did you come from? You’re not a face I recognise, you’re not from around this territory are you?

Heroine: Territory....?

????(Nobuyuki): This is Sanada territory. It’s true that it’s small but...you must have at least heard of it right?

(Sanada territory.....?)

????(Nobuyuki): It seems to look like it hasn’t sunken in

????(Yukimura): I see. Then, it looks like a formal introduction is necessary

Yukimura: I am the Supreme Commander of the Sanada territory, Sanada Yukimura nice to meet you! And this is....

Nobuyuki: Sanada Nobuyuki. Yukimura’s older brother I serve as second in commander. Please to meet you.

(Eh? Sanada Yukimura- as in Sanada Yukimura the military commander from the Sengoku period!? But, these people....)

Yukimura: Hm? What’s wrong? You’ve been staring at our ears, are you really that curious?

Nobuyuki: Huh....perhaps it’s their first time seeing a werewolf. What an usual child

Yukimura: Then, look look. Watch my ears move!

(T-They moved!?)

Heroine: Umm...where is this place? I’ve never seen or heard of this strange place

Nobuyuki: This is, like we said earlier Yukimura territory. The Yukimura territory of Shinga

(Shinga? Sanada territory? Not to mention evil demons, a castle, ears that move....could this be....)

Heroine: Not the world that i’m from?

Yukimura: Not the world that you’re from? What do you mean by that?

Nobuyuki: ...Hmm. There seems to be some sort of confusion

Yukimura: It may be best for you to rest for a bit perhaps...

Nobuyuki: You’re right....Yukimura this is also some kind of fate. How about we welcome her into the Sanada army?

Yukimura: Yes, I was also thinking of saying that too. Of course that’s only if it’s fine with you, how about it?

Nobuyuki: Until you’ve calmed down you can stay here for a bit

Yukimura: It’s alright. I’m sure you’re uneasy about some thing but we’ll protect you so don’t worry....okay?

(They don’t look like bad people....)

Heroine: Thank you very much. Then i’ll be in your care for now

Yukimura: I’m glad! Ah, that’s right. If you’re alright with it would you care to share your name with us?

Heroine: um, I’m....___

Yukimura: What a nice name. Welcome to the Sanada army. We look forward to having you

Yukimura: Then, we just happen to have a room free so lets us show you the way

Yukimura: From today this will be your room. You can use it as you wish!

Yukimura: When Sasuke and the others return i’ll formally introduce you to them. So until then take your time and rest

*Yukimura leaves*

(This...isn’t a dream right)

(I wonder what will happen to me from here on. If this really is another world then, I wonder if I can return to my own world?)

Heroine: ...?

????: Let’s see....if I remember correctly now....in this room...

????: Ah! I’ve finally found you...!

(Eh? The raccoon is talking!?)

????: Uwaaaaaa, i’m so relieved....! With this, with this the promise I made with Himemiko-sama....

Heroine: .....A-Are you okay? Why are you crying?

????: *sniff* I, I’ve been looking for you all this time, i’m just so happy...

Imari: I’m called Imari

Heroine: I-Imari...kun?

Imari: I have to talk to you no matter what! So I came here! Please....listen to what I have to say!

Heroine: O-Okay. I’ll listen to whatever you have to say so...no more crying okay?

Imari: uuu, how kind of you. Thank you so very much....!

Imari-kun said, this world is called Shinga, A world that resembles the Sengoku period from my world.

The person called Himemiko-sama is the one who rules over this world however, they’ve disappeared.

Imari-kun was told by Himemiko-sama “to find the girl that came from another world”, it looks like he was looking for me...

Imari: When I saw you I was incredibly happy...Please! Please look for Himemiko-sama with me!

Heroine: ....Himemiko-sama knew I came here right? Then she might know how to get back...?

Imari: I’m sure if it’s Himemiko-sama then she’d know!!

Heroine: I see....I understand. I’ll look for Himemiko-sama too, lets work together. Right now there’s nothing else I can do is there...

Sasuke: Oi!

Imari: Ah! It’ll be a big problem if those werewolves see me, I have to hide!

Imari: Then, in order to find Himemiko-sama lets do our best together!

Learn Mantra-meditaion without Attending Expensive Courses

How to Do Mantra-Meditation

The meditation technique described here is much the same as those techniques called Transcendental Meditation or Acem- meditation. But there are certain differences that might give you more benefits than those rigorous methods and suite better for you personally and your personal goals.

Mantra-meditation is called so because an important ingredient in the method is repition of a word or combination of words, called a mantra.

THIS IS THE WAY YOU CAN DO MANTRA-MEDITATION

The mantra-medition recommended here is done like the following:

You place yourself in a comfortable position. Generally one advices to sit comfortably in a good chair. But you can also lie confortably on your back or sides if you feel that is best, and if you know this probably will not make you fall asleep instead of meditating.

You close your eyes, tries to relax as well as possible, and tries to breath regularly. Try to breath deep enough, and breath totally out for each time, but without force the breath so that it feels exhausting.

You will probably not be able to relax and breath perfectly, but this is allright, The important thing is that you try without any hard effort.

Then you repeat the mantra with a medium speed, only by thinking it in an easy fashion, without exhausting yourself in any way. Pause just as much between each repetition that you feel natural and easy. Sometimes during meditation you will feel that a faster or slower speed will work better, and then adjust the speed.

Try to repeat it exactly. You shall not speak it, or move your lips or other speach organs. But again, do not exhaust yourself to do it correctly. Do it the best you can without forcing yourself.

It is generally adviced to meditate 15-30 minutes twice a day, but you can variate how long, when or how often according to your own need. But you should do some meditation each day to give effective results over time.

When you repeat the mantra, you will experience that a lot of thoughts or feelings begin to appear in your mind. Many of these will be good or interesting. Sometimes however you will begin thinking about unpleasant things. As long as these experiences are not very disturbing, they are a sign that the meditation is working. Often you will suddenly remember things that happened to you at some time, often in your childhood, or tings you learned a long time ago, but thought you had forgotten.

You may experience that these thoughts make you stop repeating the mantra, or that you actually keep repeating the mantra even though you experience material popping up and think about it.

The right thing in most cases is to gently stop each thoughts as it pops up, and anew keep repeating the pure mantra.

But sometimes a thought popping up is so important that you should let the thinking go on for a while, either by continue the thinking while still repeating the mantra, or continue thinking a while when the mantra repitition is paused.

Examples of this are when you discover some important material from your childhood during meditation, or when you begin finding a solution to an important problem when you are meditating.

When you have done the mediation in the planned amount of minutes, you should keep yourself relaxed with closed eyes a minute or so, and then gradually open your eyes and getting up from your position.

HOW TO FIND MANTRAS FOR MEDITATION

You must find a mantra or a set of mantras that suit you. The best is to have a set of mantras you alternate between, because different mantras will give somewhat different benefits. You should try one mantra after another and write down those you like.

You can make up mantras yourself or easily search for some at the Internet. Your mantras should sound melodious, and be easy for you to repeat. They should be of 1, 2 or 3 syllables. The mantras should not have any spesific meaning to you. It is impossible to make up a mantra that do not mean anything in a particular languages or for a particular person. You must just find some that do not bear any specific meaning for you.

Still the sound combination in any mantra can give associations to several things in your mind. This is alright, since that make you more easily detect hidden memories during medition. By using just not one mantra, but swich several, you wil be able to track a lot more hidden things in your mind, than when you use only one mantra, and the meditation will benefit your more.

Organizations teaching mantra-meditation will usually give you one mantra that the teacher say is the right for you. This will seldome be the case, and the meditation will give you effects decided by the organization, not the effects you aim at yourself, and which benefit you the most.

Here are some examples of one-syllabic combinations that you can use as matras: an, en, in, on, un, na, ne, ni, no, ing, ang, ong, yang, yong, yung, wing, wang, wong, sing, sang, song, sin, san, sun, son, sen, shim, sham, shom, shem, shing, shang, shong, aing, aim, ain, aim, aum, aun, lam, lan, lang, long, sham, shan, wen, win, wan, won, ring, rong, rang, way, woy, wey, wel, wil, wal, wol, yel, yal, yol

Some two-syllabic mantras: inga, winga, shinga, shanga, ringa, linga, ranga, ronga, sirin, shirin, salim, shalim, salem, shalem, balam, salam, shalam, shalom, shilem, noni, nuni, moni, muni, waya, weya, woya, wala, wila, walang, wilang, wilong, parong, porang, yala, yela, yola

Some tri-syllabic mantras: winomi, sinomi, shinomi, wasana, washana, ringala, rongala, rengala, wakana, takana, sakana, yakana, wanaya, pasimo, pashimo, yolana, walana

Some of the mantras mention above will mean something specific to you. Avoid these. Other are not likeable for you. Avoid also these. You can then try out the rest one by one, and chose a set that feels god for you. or you can just make up your own combinations.

I recommend to everyone online to follow at least ONE (1) weirdo. Not a qanon conspiracy flavor weirdo, I'm talking follow furries with specific fixations you've never even heard of (I just saw a post about paranormal investigator bear furries but with no context or explanation and, sure, fuck it, why not), follow artists who use materials you've never heard of before and have barely any aesthetic interest in, follow writers whose work confuses the fuck out of you but makes you pause and think.

And the next part, and this part is VITALLY important... shut the fuck up

DON'T constantly comment "what does this mean", "I don't get it", "explain it to me", "ok but why", etc

Just shut up

There's a time and place for questions and I think it's HEALTHY to have AT LEAST one place where you COMPLETELY STOP YOURSELF from questions.

A place where you sit, stare, and let yourself Not Get It.

One of the biggest problems I run into with people is their entitled expectations to Understand everything, or at least they want to THINK they understand everything (so they're a lot more likely to fall for batshit conspiracy theories because, well, pointing at a Shadowy Group Responsible For Everything is pretty easy to understand). They see something they don't get and they flip out, they want to label it, diagnose it, make panicked laws about it.

You need... NEEEEED... for the sake of your own maturity and mental health... to know when it's okay to sit there in silence and go "hm. I don't get it. Cool."

You need to know how to sit in silence in some one's art and worldview and words and think to yourself "all of this is put together in a reasonable way, but I am not connecting with it"...

GOOD.

You shouldn't HAVE to! You shouldn't be in this world thinking EVERYTHING in it is accessible to you, is understandable to you. You NEED to embrace the idea that SOME things will always evade your understanding. The universe is unfathomably huge and it's absolute NONSENSE to think to yourself that you can fathom everything in it.

Find the harmlessly weird shit to follow IN SILENCE and let yourself not understand. It's good for you.

Tumblr wants cat posts for Caturday. I guess this is as good a time as any to make a little memorial post.

Yesterday my elderly cat Diana said her final goodbyes. She was held by her favorite human in the world (my husband) and was staring in his face as she passed (staring up at him was her favorite activity)

I adopted Diana in 2008 in Memphis. I had been cat-hunting all day and had nearly given up when a humane society worker told me they’d JUST gotten in a cat they still needed give shots to. But they wanted me to meet her, see if we clicked. The SECOND I saw her in her little cage she was purring and friendly and eager to meet me. Decided to adopt her a couple of days later after her shots were up to date and she’s been my sweet stubborn spitfire baby ever since.

More photos and more memorial under the cut <3

She was bold, friendly, playful. She loved to “chase” people around corners and was obsessed with laser pointers. She took on the role of grumpy older sister when we adopted a kitten a few years ago.

I had her for fifteen happy years. She was with me through break-ups, marriage, moving around the country, brief homelessness. When I adopted her I was a thin 20-something still able to work and drive, and she happily snuggled me through the years as my body broke down and I became a full-time cripple. Diana was with me through so much change, and she was a loving constant.

She had kidney problems her entire life... we managed them through meds and health food but I knew someday her kidneys might be the thing that took her from us. I was right... they failed, rapidly. She was in so much pain in her last few days, and we knew it had to be the right time. Any hospitalization options wouldn’t guarantee anything, and even if we fixed her kidneys she had had a stroke recently, her heart was a bit weak, and her knees were a mess of arthritis and spurs. And even in all that pain, I could still tell how much she loved us. She still tried to snuggle up with my husband, purr as he pet her.

Her memory is a blessed one. It will take quite a long time for that hole in my heart to stop aching.
