A Week
So it's been almost a week without him. So weird to be in a house-- in a world-- without Stinky. I expect to see him all the time-- when I get to the top of the stairs, I expect to see him lounging on Mom's bed. When I walk into the dining room, I expect to see him on the table. My mind cannot get around the idea that he will not come back. Even though his ashes are now sitting in a little green tin on the table. When I brought home Mimi's ashes, that opened the floodgates and I knew she was gone. Even that hasn't done it for me with Stinky. Even with the box of ashes sitting where he use to sit, I still don't believe it. I'm understanding, too, something of what Tak went through with Betty-- I saw my beloved die. Even though I saw him die, I still think he's coming back-- but even though I think that, I still dwell on those terrible moments. He was not a well cat at the end, of course, but I still saw him-- and held him-- while he went from my sweet, alive Stinky boy to a lifeless, staring rag in my arms. When the doctor put the needle in his leg, I went down on my knees and made him look right into my face, so it would be the last thing he saw. But the last thing I saw was him die, and then his poor dead body. That was the last time I was with him, so it has been hard not to think about, especially at night. -- Theresa and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Forever: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh -- Theresa and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Forever: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |
