It’s Going to be a Long Four Years.
Wallie Died Today
Head hurts around the eyes – about 3 inches out, all over. I feel like I’ve been punched about the eyes. And it’s not like I’ve been crying this whole time. Sure, there have been moments. But not eating hasn’t helped, either.
Another weirdly curious thought passed quickly today. Wallie lived for 17 years. She lived once, will never live again. In the entire existence of Earth and all of the lives lived and those yet to live, this was her time. And we got to be a part of it, and her of ours. We’re all special, but very small in the scope of things. Hundreds of years from now, no one will have ever heard of her – or us. But we have, right?
Petted her when she was gone.
Her eyes were black. The conjunctiva wrinkling as her body stiffened and the limited moisture evaporated, after life left her body.
Being sad and crying is exhausting.
Elyce crying. Exhausting. She picked Wallie at the shelter when she was 4.
Sad days.
Love you Wallie. Thank You for sharing your life with us.
