The echo of a life...
a year ago
Life. Be it blessing and sacred or curse and disease...
Is... Short.
I don't think that many people realize just how short it is for us humans.
Imagine how short it might be for animals. Our pets... Our... Family.
All life in the end is finite... Painfully so.
Today... I watched one of my beloved pet- No... A member of my family, pass on.
It... Is something that is now burned into my memory. An image I simply can't forget.
An experience that even I can't describe what it's like to see...
Only those who have witnessed an event like that can ever truly know.
Every spark of life shapes the world upon which we stand on. No matter how bright it shines,
no matter the size and shape of the creature it came from.
He leaves behind a little sister that too is also mourning his loss.
The acknowledgement of death and loss is not a distinctly human trait...
Everything... Feels the impact. In their own way.
I... Have to be the bigger sister for her. My apartment and all lives within is currently my sole responsibility
while the relative I live with endures a six week hospital stay.
I have already failed once today. I... Will. Not. Let anymore lives be lost while this home is in my care.
Tonight, we will retire to our beds in silence. Our family, numbers one... Less.
Please give me time to myself. I will return to posting next week.
Thank you.
