Well, the thing is this: pretty much all the reasonable, possible critters (i.e., not tortoises or elephants) live a tiny fraction of the human lifespan. It is absolutely inevitable that they will go, and some will leave a hole that can never be filled by another. But the alternative is to have never known them at all. So what then? Never know them? Never try? Or have several special years, then crash and burn? Or try to move on, stay busy, let other critters partly fill in? Go a different direction with a different species? Get chemical help? Not helpful I suppose. Personally, I have to keep occupied. I'm old enough to have seen a lot of them come and go. I'm a bit OCD anyway, crap will eat me alive if I don't crowd it out of my head. Build stuff. Rebuild/restore stuff. Plant stuff, clear brush. Write, stories, tech advice, an antique vehicle forum. Help someone get something done. Thinking about stuff too long will kill you. Sorry, that's all I got.
Are we off-topic yet?
