Six Months

Somehow six whole months have slipped by since I found myself in the middle of a never ending nightmare. The void in my heart still persists, the pain of the loss of such a beloved companion is ever so deep. I miss her more than I could have believed possible. It is humbling to know just how much love a person can hold for another life.

Ever cuddly and happy, Sampson has spent his limited time with me today begging for attention, bringing me toys to play with, and plopping down on top of me to get belly rubs and chin scratches. Can you say spoiled?? He was thrilled to have a couple of his stuffed toys returned to him this evening. We borrowed them with the intention of using them in a wet lab tonight - our wet lab coordinator actually had to spend quite a bit of time suturing these toys back together because Sampson has ripped off various appendages and made many holes! Good to know I can make old toys very exciting so easily!
