I know, buddy. I miss her, too. It’s too quiet. It’s too still.. You know this isn’t how I wanted things to end up, don’t you? You saw me try…over and over and over again. You saw more than anyone. And I’m so sorry for that. I’m so sorry that this senseless drama played out in front of you as you cowered in the corner shaking, bracing against our screams. You have no idea how sorry I am. Funny, how angry words robbed you, robbed me robbed us of years. Not funny. If I could change this if I could make it good for you, for me, for her I would. I can’t. You saw me try, over and over and over again. Please buddy, don’t look at me so sad. I’ll love you a bit more. You can lick my face when I come home. And I’ll tell you how much I missed you. I’ll call you on the answering machine from work. I’ll make you cheese sandwiches at midnight. We’re going to be okay, okay? |

*sigh* You know..I feel the same towards my fish right now..silly thing, eh? A fish..and I feel guilty because someone else as well as I used to delight in him so much and now I feel as if I'm depriving them both..*sigh again* This makes me sad because I understand it on the very deep and painful level it is on...at leat I believe so.  How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

Duncan...hurt in print.. that is what this is - and the deflective technique is great... for what you don't say outright, you say a lot by going around the corners of words...   K[This message has been edited by Severn (06-09-2002 07:49 AM).] |

You saw me try, over and over and over again. ======================== its a moth thing baby.... we believe in the idea of love... and that it can "fix" anything. Sometimes that quest blinds us to the fact that its the love that needs fixing. heart-hugs D mothyme |

I have lots of talks with my cats, along these lines. Every once in a while, someone even acts interested. Take care Sandra |

It is interesting how our pets catch our moods so easily...You can see it in their eyes and body language... I think they understand when we are having one of those days... A sad but touching write...thanx Duncan... |

This is painful excellence, Duncan... Cats supposedly hate to be wet... but there have been times I don't know what I would have done without their concern and willingness to absorb tears... even when my talkin' was more wailin' than words. *S* |
