I've been beside myself today. I miss Theo so much, and I know that Leigh misses him as well. I was a wreck of tears this morning, when I didn't have him compete with me to reach the bathroom first (our norma a.m. ritual). Then I saw that my makeup bag was intact...no contents had mysteriously spilt over due to his curiosity...and my contact lens case was on the end table and not on the floor like it usually was since he loved batting it with his paws throughout the nighttime. All of these memories came back and hit my heavy heart full force. I have grieved for pets before but it's been awhile since I dropped all of my brick walls of reserve and loved Theo without any boundaries. And we miss him dearly. The house seems as though it is hollow.
