Today marks the end of well...an era for me. I've been a fan of the comic strip "For Better or For Worse" since I was a girl but only got to read it on Sunday from the newspaper. When I found it online I was so excited! I've been following the lives of these fictional characters for so long it feels like they are part of my family. Seriously. When Farley (the dog) died, I shed a tear or two. It coincided with my dog dying and it was just so heart wrenching. When Michael got married I was a little jealous of the girl he was marrying, and then when he had kids I was like no! he's too young. And now Elizabeth is marrying Anthony, and when I read the wedding ceremony * I got a little choked up. So now it seems the end* has come for this family that I've grown to love. I'm not sure if the writer plans on continuing the story, or revisiting old story lines, but I will continue to be faithful to this world she has made. And yes, I know it's a little dorky to indulge in a comic strip, to get lost in this fictional world, but hey, it's not like it's detrimental to my health...yet.
*I linked to the comic strips based on the assumption that it is a permanent link. I don't know for sure but I'm hoping they are. I apologize in advance if you happen to click on the link and it no longer takes you to the intended comic.
