• Direction

  I am trying to find the direction for this blog. As of yet, it is drifting rudderless and maybe it has to until I can ascertain where it needs to be? Maybe that is part of the charm? I don’t know. I just hope you will all stay around while it finds its way. I […]

• The Unbearable Sound Of Silence

  I am sitting here typing this, just 2 feet from where I laid with Xev on the morning of the 1st September 2021 – her last day on Earth and just 6 feet from where I last cradled her frail spent body before she was placed in a carrier and taken to the Vet. Often […]

• Painful Realisations

  I am sitting here tonight. Sad. Tearful. Missing my friend, Xev. All the things which I felt important while she was alive, have been rendered wholly meaningless with her passing. What I would give now, to be with her. Totally distraction free. In the moment.

• What It All Boils Down To

  I spent all of yesterday crying, worrying, regretting, wishing, thinking “I didn’t do enough” for my little fur pal, Xev. I was remembering times when she came to visit with me but I was too busy working on things which felt oh so important at the time but actually weren’t at all because here I […]

• A Grief Which Persists

  On 1st September 2021, I lost the best friend I have ever had. It was April of 2015 when I initially met her. I was outside in my garden and there she was, walking tentatively across the dew-laden grass. She was a delight. Our eyes met and we held each other’s gaze for a few […]
