julieklausner: I like to say that I am only afraid of two things—my own feelings and snakes. In truth, I’m not really that afraid of snakes. The only thing that truly terrifies me is the prospect of unrelenting sadness. I wrote about Smiley Muffin and Jimmy Jazz— also death, cats, love and Cher—for GOOD magazine. As you probably know, I love my dog more than my own life, more than your life and more than anything else. My dog is 12 years old and has survived cancer, while she is doing fine right now I know that I will one day face a life without her; this is the only thing in the world I am truly afraid of. I needed to read this. Thanks Julie. P.S. - Nice couch.
