16 years ago today, my Father passed away.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

In the days that followed, over 500 DUers came to my rescue. Words of love, sympathy, and support. It made getting through that time easier, and it's why there are Sunday LOLcats, and Why I call them Your. A thank you for all you did, and for those who weren't yet members at the time, something to let know what wonderful people there are here. Thank you all for being who you are.

4. SalmonChantedEvening, you are a treasure

Here in oh so rural Rock Bluff, we are known as the "cat people", even though we have horses, cows, dogs, poultry.

Your weekly posting is eagerly awaited. You put a lot of effort into it.

7. Nothing prepares us for the loss of a loved one.

It speaks to your character and indirectly to the character of your father that Sunday LOLcats was the reaction you had to such intimately deep pain.

Thank you. ❤️

Such a heartwarming origin story for LOLcats. Thanks for sharing that.

Thank you for sharing your Sundays Editions with us. You make Sundays much brighter and fill us with smiles and laughter.


You're time and devotion is much appreciated.


Okay, now my eyes are starting to get misty.
