Everything I Love Seems To Go Away Forever

What the hell? Why is it everything I love (or dear hubby loves) go away, never to be seen again.
Some examples include...

When hubby was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, we went on the hunt for some small sweet treats he could indulge in occasionally. We found at WalMart, a reduced sugar/carbohydrate chocolate and strawberry mousse type frozen treat in small individual containers for easy portion control. Bought them once, he really liked them, then they were gone. No more.

The 4400 series. I have to say that maybe they gambled a bit on trying to drag it out too long, but for the love of God, couldn't they have just let them wrap it up with one final season? We, as usual, were left dangling. I'd read somewhere that they were supposed to conclude the series in a book. A BOOK? I love to read a good book, but I loved most of the actors in the 4400 series and wanted to WATCH the finale!

WG Grinders. The absolute best sub sandwiches ever made on this friggin planet are gone. If they are around somewhere, it's probably in another state. They piled meat, cheese and toppings on a sourdough bun and cooked it all to perfection. They had a macaroni salad with shredded cheddar cheese and a ranch kick. Heavenly. Gone. All gone. The one in this town is closed up. Hubby is pretty sure the one in the town we are originally from (about 30 minutes from here) is also closed because he commented that when he drove past it at 7 pm one night, they were closed. Damn.

Papa Murphy's Pizza
. For the price, you could not beat these pizzas, and their cheesy garlic bread rings with dipping sauce. Made to order in their store, wrapped up with baking directions, you took them home and baked them in your oven on their disposable pan. Very filling, lots of cheese, AND a great taste for an even greater price. Leaving WalMart last week, I happened to look over, and in the doorway of the local Papa Murphy's stood someone holding the door open. A little more looking showed their sign was gone, paper was plastered up all over the inside of the windows and they were loading things onto a truck! Holy SHIT! Gone. All gone.

I am sure there are many other things that have disappeared over the years, but these seem to be the most heart-breaking at the moment. The most recent are always the most painful.
