Ahh, sad day. Cold rain. My friend came over in the middle of the day and cried on my couch because she'd had to put down her cat - the one she'd had since she was 21, who had been a friend to her in lonely months since her divorce. I cried too - over the last year, I'd been watching the old cat on the regular when she had to travel for work. He was a nice old boy and seemed gently fond of me, even though my main job while watching him was to give him an insulin shot twice a day. Then, my best bud at work found out her mom had passed - while she was on camera during our meeting. Awful news, and such cruel timing. It's been a day for trying to say "I'm sorry, I'm hurting for you" in so many ways when in reality, my words are such weak little things. I think I'll go curl up.
