my kitty

Some asshole killed my kitty this morning. Hit and run. Marshmallow was a huge cream puff and he was such a good boy too. I'm going to miss him so much. My little snuggler. Adrian and I hugged after we buried the cat. He asked if the door was still open. I told him, of course it is. We are on this journey together. He was the first person I called. He's the only one I want to hug. We snuggled on the couch after I got home from FAU. We shared a kiss. He felt like him. But I don't know what to trust anymore. Half the time he feels like the man I married, and the other half, I just don't know that man. I miss that man. I miss my kitty too.

The Rainbow Bridge

inspired by a Norse legend

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

Where the friends of man and woman do run,

When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,

Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

On this golden land, they wait and they play,

Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,

Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

Together again, both person and pet.

So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,

Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

They embrace with a love that will last forever,

And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
