Right now your heart hurts, your mind is spinning, you probably feel sick to your stomach with guilt and grief, all you can think about is "what if..." and "why did he..." and "why didn't I...". I know those words, I've spun them around in my own mind, but I find comfort in the fact that for the short time these animals are in our lives, we enjoy every moment with them. No, we might not enjoy the less glamourous parts of pet ownership, like the litterbox or even feeding time, but still then, it lifts our souls to have these wonderful little creatures just being generous enough to share their spirits and their time with us.
I know that when Rahmal and I lose Siouxsie and Bauhaus, we're going to celebrate their short little two year lifespans and send them out with a viking funeral, we're going to make them little boats and cover them with rosepetals and all of our friends are going to come to say goodbye.
All of life is a celebration, lite, and we should continue celebrating even after it's gone.
