pyesetzAge = 14.9 years. Cancer.
My laptop died last week. Age = about 12 years. Seems to be a motherboard failure at the power connector. I haven't replaced it yet and am making do with a smartphone.
My aunt died in January, age 87. She was supposed to leave me all her money, but stuff happened and now her estate has become a seemingly-endless lawsuit.
At her request, I have been saying the Mourner's Kaddish for her at my local synagogue. So far I have said it on 12 occasions in the last four months.
It would be inappropriate to say the Kaddish for a pet animal. Saying it for a computer would be just plain weird.
"Walnut" (as I once called him on this blog) was a good dog. He just wanted to help, although in his last month he wasn't able to do much of anything. His favourite activity was walkies.
