im sorry to hear about your loss, very sorry, as if i could sit an imagine myself without my babies i would probably cry.

that being said, i have no clue how you still speak to any of these people.
your talking about somebody who put all other people and living things feelings aside to destroy a living creature.

for your sake, i truly hope you do not speak to them anymore, if you do... i would have to question your level of respect for yourself and your belongings.

what is this speech about evil snakes?
what people do you have in your life around you?
do you live in the dark ages, or are the people around you so ignorant that they could kill an innocent little snake?

im one of those people, slap me once, shame on me, slap me twice, well in the words of G.W.B, "slap me once, you cant slap me again" but seriously, why and how are these people still in your life?
