My friend with Covid died last night at 9:04.

[leftyladyfrommo]

He had been working from home since March. He lived alone with his animals. He was a wonderful, kind man. He went home for Xmas, got Covid and died. His family tried to convince him not to come but he just couldn't face Xmas alone.

I am having good luck finding good homes for his animals. Thank goodness. I am his pet sitter and thank goodness his family found me.



Why does it seem like it's the best people who die and the awful people just carry on?

[tblue37]

1. I am sorry leftylady. You're right--the worst people do seem to get better while the

good ones suffer and die. Thank you for taking care of his pets and finding good homes for them.

[Bluethroughu]

2. You are very kind to care for his loves and find them homes.

[FakeNoose]

3. Oh dear, I'm sorry for your loss

You honor his memory by seeing that his pets are being cared for.

[hlthe2b]

4. A tragedy undoubtedly repeated in many other families. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.

his family, and most assuredly his pets. They will undoubtedly mourn him, no matter how good the new home might be. (and I truly hope they will be re-homed--it sounds like you are making sure of that)

My deepest sympathy for all.

[Guilded Lilly]

5. I'm sending healing thoughts to you. I know those can be cliched words but I genuinely mean it.

[fleur-de-lisa]

6. I'm so sorry.

10. That's so sad

I’m so sorry.

[panader0]

11. So sorry about your friend. My friend's lot turned out different.

On Dec 2nd I drove to an old friend's ranch house to look at some work he wanted done.
We were both masked and outdoors, taking measurements. I was there almost an hour.
I called back in a week with some numbers on the work but no answer.
Turns out he had gone to the VA in Tucson and had covid. They put him in a coma and on a ventilator.
The outlook was pretty dim. Well, I spoke to him last night. He was in the induced coma for almost 5 weeks.
He talked like he got religion while knocked out--quite a change from the hell-raiser he was for years.

[whathehell]

19. I'm glad your friend is doing well

Uplifting story.. Thanks for posting.

[LymphocyteLover]

21. Yeah, I know an older guy who was in the hospital and survived COVID

he seemed very humbled by it all. I was worried about him when he told me he tested positive. I talked to him a couple months later and was relieved he made it.

[MustLoveBeagles]

64. I'm glad your friend got a happy ending

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. All that time being alone, and then the temptation...

... to break isolation became too strong for him.

Sorry about your friend.

[marlakay]

13. So sad they say covid fatigue is why

We have so many cases now.

[dameatball]

14. Lefty, as a person that lives alone with pets, rest assured that he thought highly of you. Not that

his loss isn't painful and seemingly unjust, but he made a choice that many of us might make. Condolences from myself and DU, if I may.

[CaptainTruth]

15. I'm so sorry... thank you for taking care of the animals.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Deepest sympathy.

[UpInArms]

17. I am so sorry

😢

[Obvious85]

18. THANK YOU so much for taking care of his animals

such a blessing

[sdfernando]

20. Damn...I'm so sorry to hear your friend passed on.

I'm glad he had you to take care of his critters and now to find good homes for them. I'm sure they all miss him as well.

[Fla Dem]

22. What a sad story. Peace to your friend. I'm glad he had you to take care of his animals.

My sympathies to you.

[Karadeniz]

23. Deepest sympathy to you and his fur babies. I wish you all the luck in the world with rehoming them.

Are you also trying shelters, rescue groups...if you need them. Your friend and his pets are so fortunate to have you!

[malaise]

24. Too sad

and you ask a good question.

[ffr]

25. Because from the likes of T----, Hell has no vacancy.

All lanes though are open to heaven.

[Lonestarblue]

26. So sorry for your loss.

I’m sure he would be grateful that you’re finding good homes for his pets.

[BainsBane]

27. I'm so sorry for you loss

COVID is so unfair.

[MLAA]

28. 💕💕💕💕💕

I am so sorry to hear this. Thank goodness you are finding homes for his pets. You are an earth angel.

[Liberty Belle]

29. So sorry. I have a family member dying of COVID; he has 5 children and was the family breadwinner.

He has been on a ventilator for eight days and is not expected to survive, I learned today.

Damn to hell Trump and all of his minions who failed to remove him from office last January, which would have prevented most of this carnage.

[electric_blue68]

31. So sorry for your family member and you

[leftyladyfrommo]

56. Jon was on a ventalator for 8 days.. at first he seemed to be doing

Better.

[MustLoveBeagles]

65. I'm sorry Liberty Belle

[electric_blue68]

30. So sorry you've lost your friend {gentle hug}

[Deuxcents]

32. I hope you find Peace

Because your friend’s heart n deeds were so honorable. My cousin is in hospital with Covid19 n pneumonia n a DNR. I can’t say I know how you feel but I have a pretty good idea..it’s the good people among us that seem to leave us too soon. Maybe heaven just can’t do without them and call them early.

[LaMouffette]

33. I'm so sorry, lefty!

And you're right: your friend was so careful, yet took a chance one time, just to be with his loved ones and caught the virus and passed away, while thousands of maskholes who refuse to self-isolate or do something as simple as cover their face with a cloth to keep others safe do not get the virus, at least we rarely hear about them getting it.

There is no justice with this virus. And I am so sorry for your loss!

[Moostache]

34. I am sorry for your loss...

This has been the worst 12 month span of my life by far.

May the memories better times find you in the moments you need them most...

[Rebl2]

35. My husband

and I ask that on almost a daily basis.

[Tanuki]

36. I'm so sorry that your friend died before his time from this terrible disease.

You honor his memory and friendship by looking after his beloved pets and finding them homes. Blessings on you!

❤

[SheltieLover]

[Evolve Dammit]

40. That is so sad and tragic. I am so sorry. Hug the animals for all of us and hug yourself as well. ED

[healthnut7]

41. So sorry.

[yourmovemonkey]

42. I am so sorry for your loss

I lost a friend and coworker a few weeks ago. He was only 52, and in pretty good shape. The youngest of his 4 kids is only 18. I feel terrible for them. The whole family is so nice, and they were being safe.

All of this was completely unnecessary.

[calimary]

43. Damn. I'm so sorry. I'm sure he'll appreciate your kindness to his critters - from Upstairs.

Thank you for that. It will help your friend rest in peace, for sure.

[bdamomma]

44. that

is the question that remains to be a mystery.

There's a very long list of awful people esp. past Repig administrations.

[stage left]

45. I'm so sorry

for the loss of your friend.

[Maru Kitteh]

46. It's so hideously unfair, I am so very sorry for your loss.

Thank you for taking care of the animals.

[iluvtennis]

47. ...

May he Rest in Peace and his Memory Be a Blessing.

[shrike3]

48. I'm very sorry.

Why I don't believe in karma. The best people die and the awful people carry on.

I hope your memories of him bring comfort.

[Montauk6]

49. My sincere condolences

54. Sorry to hear this about your friend.

[japple]

55. Bless you for helping your friend and seeking out homes for his furry family. He was

so lucky to have a good, kind soul such as you in his life. We should all be so fortunate. Peace and love to you and yours, and may all of his animals be loved to the end.

[BlueIdaho]

57. Heartbreaking story...

May all who knew and cared for him find peace and comfort in this difficult time.

[leftyladyfrommo]

58. Maybe it was better thst he died than trying to

live with ruined lungs.

[bluestarone]

59. So sorry.

I hear you about why it seems like the good people always die. I've felt the same way MANY times!

[leftyladyfrommo]

60. He loved animals

He had a little cat which we have a good home for.
He had 2 lovebirds. 2 flying squirrels and a bunch of fish


He had 2 125 gal tanks and two 60 gal. Tanks. And all kinds of equipment


We got the cat and the fish covered. Mow we need homes for the lovebirds and the flying squirrels

[BobTheSubgenius]

61. I'm sorry for your loss, and for your friend.

You are honouring him by doing what you are doing for his pets. I hope that leaves you with some of the peace and contentment you deserve.

[wendyb-NC]

62. I'm so sorry

That's so sad. What a loss. I hear you, it seems like we lose the good people and the scumbags are indestructible. Look at agent orange.

[MustLoveBeagles]

63. I'm sorry

My sympathies to you, his family and his furbabies. You are a very good friend to find new homes for his animals. Take care of yourself.

[live love laugh]

66. So sorry 😢

[demtenjeep]

67. so very sorry

I have asked that too/. Why did my wonderful sister die and not her piece of shit husband

[mfcorey1]

68. Sorry for your loss.

[shanti]

69. My sincere condolences

Losing a good friend is tough.

[Gothmog]

70. I am so sorry for your loss

[Blue Owl]

71. Would that it were not so...

[leftyladyfrommo]

72. Thank you. nt

[sheshe2]

73. I am so sorry for your loss, leftylady.

[Laurelin]

74. I'm so sorry

For your loss. And so glad you're there for his pets. My pets are one thing that worry me about covid, as in, what would happen to them if the worst were to happen to me and my husband?

At least he knew you were there. I think that probably mattered a lot to him.

[qzwv8j]

75. Protecting your animals in the event you get seriously ill (long term) or die should be a priority

So many who have been hospitalized and/or died without arrangements for their animals have overwhelmed the “shelters” and rescue organizations to the extent many of the animals turned in at the “shelters” are being killed as soon as the person dropping them off leave. I mean immediately... straight to the kill room.

Two words, one very important legal document — Animal Trust.

I am saddened for your loss. No words can make this right or your pain less. But your friend was lucky to have you, because you’re doing what you can to save his precious family. And since he knew he had you, it was something he did not have to agonize over as he realized he would not be coming home. IMO, with each task you take on to find new homes for these animals has you walking on sacred ground.

[leftyladyfrommo]

76. All the animals have good homes. His family knew how important

They were to him.

[LibinMo]

77. So very sorry to hear about this.

May peaceh and comfort be with you and all who have lost loved ones.

[leftyladyfrommo]

78. If there was only a way to make people understand

Just how dangerous Covid is. It just doesn't seem real until it hits you right in the face and then it's too late.

His poor family are trying to live with the grief and the guilt. He just didn't want to be alone for Xmas.

Now his family is trying to pick up the pieces. Their lives are shattered.

[gldstwmn]

79. I am so sorry for your loss.

You are an angel for taking care of the fur babies.
