Fingers crossed that you find one. Maybe BV will make some more. If they sold out this quickly, it's a pretty clear sign that they need to make more in that color.

My fellow BVettes,
I mentioned that a close friend of mine chose to end her life last month. Her celebrate of life ceremony is coming up but I don't want to go. I don't want to say goodbye to her there. I don't want to remember her as an urn. Am I being a bad person? Please tell me honestly what you think.
Thanks.

BVLC, my most heartfelt condolences, for your loss
your decision is very difficult, and no you are not a "bad" person just the opposite, your attending the celebration of life is a remembrance of all things you and she alone shared. You will make the right choice I'm sure.
A friend of my husband committed suicide three years ago and we had the same feeling about going. But we did and it was a wonderful experience. The minister gave an outstanding talk about the pain involved with not understanding and the sense of 'what could I have done'. And the attendance was huge and we were all their together and sad, and I think we all left with a sense of peace and understanding. It could be cathartic for you.
Dr Sophia Yin ended her life almost two years ago. She was one of the foremost animal behaviorist in the world and I worked with her. We developed a personal rapport and it was so sad when she died. I went to her celebration of life and again felt comfort in that my feelings of loss were not in isolation and that I got to hear so many neat stories of her. I'm really glad I went.
J, I think you should go. I think you will be sad but you will also be surprised by the love that is felt. And it will provide some closure for you. The questions surrounding the suicide will not be answered but your grief and your ability to love in the face of this loss will be nurtured. And finally, better to go and be sad than regret you never went.
When Dr. Yin passed away, I was very sad too. Shocked, actually.
I hold nothing against suicide. I know why my friend did it. I don't love her less. I don't have the 'what I could have done' question. I just don't want to remember her as an urn. Once you see that, you can't un-see. I don't want to hear people talking about her in past tense.
I just want to remember her waving bye at me and Nickel in front of her apartment with her dog in her arms when we last visited her in the east coast.
I'll re-read your message and think about it. You always offer the most thoughtful and wise posts. Thank you, G.
I totally feel you! It would tear me apart as well, i like to have good, sweet memories of a person (or a place) especially if you definitely will not have any other chance to over-write this ....
Had to stop by for a minute
I'm going to be a grand mom again
It's a boy
There are 15 girls in my family
This will be the first boy in my son's generation
I am beside myself with happiness

Wooohooo! Wonderful news and I've come to enjoy reading your posts about your grandkids. You're just marvelous to them. They're lucky to have you, as are we on this board. Don't be a stranger because it's just a little too quiet without you!
How exciting! I know you travel to visit Hazel. How close by will this grandchild be?
This is the one in Florida
My DIL put up a pic of Hazel with the caption
Big sister to a little mister
It was so cute
I am very excited can't wait until June
Thank you all my friends for the good wishes
Bad person towards her?
Bad person towards family and friends?
Or bad person towards yourself?
And by bad do you mean selfish?
I like grietje point of view, it will give you some sort of closure and it will help you heal.
Sometimes we complicate things in our heads and make things harder on ourselves.
No matter what you decide I can assure you that you are not a bad person at all, but a caring and loving friend.
I understand your concern and I feel it is very sweet and only a caring person would worry about such thing.
