The Day After

He did everything he could. It wasn't enough.

He did everything he could. It wasn’t enough.

I’m sad. The missus is sad. Raebert is crushed. I think he really thought he could save Mickey. I had a talk with him about it. I told him we had to wait it out, that Mickey would cross over and we’d all meet up later. Then he tried to sneak in another secret licking session with Mickey.

Enough? Nothing is enough. One of my best friends is gone. I had to watch his decline. Why do we do this to ourselves? Because the pain of loss is outweighed by the joy of life. As long as life lasts.

    This is a lot of loss in much too short a time.

    Unfortunately, we’re not out of the woods yet.

    So pardon my relative silence.
