woops

So I'm not very good at sticking to my days of this meme; I will do day 05 later on today, and then day 06.
Yesterday I felt rather depressed; it'd been leading up for a few days; not sure what triggered it off; I'd been doing so well. Guess the unavoidable change of weekend plans for so long but especially having no job just got to a bit of a head. But thanks to Dad I feel stronger again now. I ended up breaking down to him yesterday afo and it made me feel a lot better to talk to someone. -- I'd been so bored as well. I'd thought about going out but it was pretty rainy yesterday.
Dad just came over to drop Heartly here for a few days and try and uninstall tripple-talk again but we couldn't find anything in device manager; will consult my expert friends again today as Dad's coming back tomorrow to help with that but also prob go to Forest Hill with me just to have a drink and catch up; it's been forth coming since he's been in Dubai for so long.
Anyway, the vet tells me that Heartly is overdue for her seniour cit checkup so off I go to make an appointment for Monday.
Oh also, Nan called me yesterday to inform me Great uncle Lindsay passed away Thursday from pancreas cancer (what Carol had). He was diagnosed with it a few years ago and was unfortunately told there was nothing that could be done. He was 72. His late wife Joy (believe it or not re the name) passed away in 89 from a massive stroke so at least they're together again (re my beliefs as oppose to the exact seventh day Adventist beliefs).
R.I.P Uncle Lindsay. I hadn't seen you for a while but will again when my time comes.
Til Next Time, RdFreak

Condolences, little family reunion, and some questions

Hi, Rachel! I send my condolences to you after the death of your uncle Lindsay: it's sad when any relative dies, but at least he isn't suffering now. I was wondering, though, after reading your entry: in what way does your uncle and aunt being together after death contradict traditional Seventh Day Adventist beliefs? On a happier note, it's great that you've seen your Dad this weekend and will see him again, after he's been away in Dubai. And now for the final question: what is this Senior Cit checkup which Heartly has to go to the vet for? Sorry about all these questions, but thanks in advance for the answers!

Hey Clare, First of all, thanks.
The traditional seventh day adventist believes that when a person dies, the soul lays to rest til Jesus comes for the second coming. However, i have always believed in my heart that their soul goes up to heaven shortly (not sure how though) after one dies. I believe that they can look down on us etc.
Heartly is my first guide dog; she's 12, and the vet always sends out notes saying she's due for her seniour cit checkup, Lol
Hope that answered everything; xo
