Oh wow! I felt your emotions as I also felt my own shame for the same reason. I knew my Mother was dying. I couldn't be there the day she died. I just couldn't. And like you, there were no last I love you and no last goodbyes.
I miss her so very much. Wishing you gentle healing.
I live in the past daily. And you are right, I honestly believe the past will always live with me. I have had a lot of deaths in my family. But then again, I don't ever want to forget them. They were my life. My heart to yours. Wishing you a gentle healing.
Wow! You really had this reader drawn to your story, sad as it is. I don't know if this was written from personal experience but if so, my heart to yours. I didn't want to story to end. This left me wanting so much more. You are a terrific writer!!
I am sorry for your loss. My Mother passed away also and I believe regret is a part of grief. Writing has been my release. I wish you a very gentle healing.
I really enjoyed reading your story. I have 2 Maine Coon cats, and a Maltese. The cats are alot bigger than my full grown dog..lol.
Reading this, when you wrote about the sarcastic remark you got from the shelter, I felt a spark of anger. Someone like that should not be working with animals. It takes someone with love for animals, someone who would have understood your calls and sympathized with you. (I am so very against ANY type of animal care if not given with love).
You know, my oldest, Bacardi, age 3 has been neutered but loves to hunt and is fast when sneaking out the door. But always back just before the sun rises, so I know your worry.
This was a great write. Tells an interesting story with a happy ending.
This could almost be a song. Eyes shut tight, begging for relief. I guess I read a comma there. Other than that, I like the concept of this piece and the image you portray.
Losing my own Mother 7 years ago along with my husband and grandmother at the same time, I understand your words you pen. I yearn so deeply still for my Mother. Her smile, smell, touch and even the sound of her voice.
Thank you for sharing this very beautiful poem.
Oh teihzbael! I so much enjoyed reading this, I wanted to read more. This tells a true story and very captivating! I am adding you to my favorites for I love reading you and learning more about you as well and when I get caught up from my absenteeism, I defiantly what to visit more.
I am so glad I read this! I love how you chose your name. So unique and so perfect. I often wonder how some people choose a screen name and now I know how you chose yours....lol. And I also learned other things about you such as you have teenage kids and love to write (from what I can tell, you love to write about fantasy dragons, wizards and magical children stories) Which I find fascinating! Thank you for sharing this with me!!
The title od this piece is what caught my eye. I am glad it did. I am still sitting here in my own memories after reading yours. This is truly a great memory and I am glad you have shared it with me. With the passing od your mother, which I am sorry for, your grandmother was there with the deepest of love and you will always carry that in your heart. This was a great read.
What a beautiful tribute to your friend. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds as though you two shared a special bond of friendship. I wish you a bery gentle healing.
