It’s been a really tough couple of days here. My partner’s father is dying, so she went home to be with him. We can’t travel together easily with our animals so I am here by myself holding down the fort. But this morning our elder kitty died in my arms. I’ve had her 20 years. I feel like I can’t really mourn fully, because after all my partner is dealing with a father dying, and of course that takes precidance. But it was really awful to see her die and be alone with her. And then C is MIA again, and I’m not doing a good job of letting go of worry. And I don’t have anyone here in ‘the real world’ who knows the whole story or what that feels like.
