Death of a friend

[beowabbit]

I heard today that a former housemate of mine (and of sionnagh’s) died yesterday, after heart surgery. I hadn’t been in very good touch with her since she moved to California, and didn’t even know until a couple weeks ago that she’d moved back to this coast, but I certainly have very fond memories of her. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but I enjoy the fancy that now she’s feeding Schnapps tunafish somewhere, as in life.

(I don’t like turning off comments, but I don’t need support; I’m fine. I just wanted to mark something important in my life.)

My bishop very specifically told me that animals do not go to heaven because they do not have souls (and only souls go to heaven). He told me that when I got to heaven, I would not care about there not being animals there because of my joy at being with God. I take that as being the official doctine because, well, a bishop said it. But I also take it as being a bunch of idiocy.
