I regret to report...

Post by ez4u »

...that Roze, my L19 alter ego and very best friend, passed away this week at the far too young age of nine. I am bereft.

I'm so sorry to hear that. We have lost many canine and feline companions over the years and it never gets any easier.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure your companion was loved and will be remembered. And in the end, all there is in existence is love and the memory of love. :sad:
