He turned me into a complete blubbering fool last Monday when I went into work. Luckily I have a boss who is a big dog person and understood completely.
As I was cleaning this weekend I was reluctant to vacuum, his fur and smell would be gone forever.....how silly is that! I thought I could pick up his food bowl and put it away but I'm not ready yet. I found his favorite toy....it sits here on my desk.
I'm not ready to let go......not yet.
I miss you Eddie.......(this was his very last photo....taken just a few hours before. Who knew.... ).
No, I'm not ready yet.
It's been 7 and a half months since Simon died and I still long to see him again. My grief has mainly turned into fond memories, but there are still raw spots even now. I think your reluctance to let go of your sweet boy is a sign of how much you loved him and what a prominent role he had in your life. Take your time - you will heal at your own speed.
ReplyDeleteI miss my kitty's fur - our other cat won't sit in "his" chair. I miss his smell and his crankiness (not his midnight yowlings, though). It's so hard to believe we won't ever kiss their little heads again. Don't give up everything - keep the memories.
