It Was Big. It Was Black, & I Miss it!

Our good friend- T was our housemate for 18 months, a great & fascinating social experiment. T was an excellent addition to our family. He bought his own home in December 09, the house closed on January 4th & he moved a week later. His room is now empty & it makes an odd echo through out the house. T’s leaving left an emotional & physical hole in my life.

As if this wasn’t enough loss, T took with him, his big black 42 inch flat screen TV (our TV is half the size) & his beautiful big black poodle- Louis. He dangled his big black things in front of me for a year & ½ & then he yanked them away! I miss T, & I miss his big black stuff.

“When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, & with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, & weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, & moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, & heavily from woe to woe tell o'er the sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored & sorrows end.”
W. Shakespeare
