letting go
tonight
i sat
and stroked the head of our old, diabetic cat
i knew
her end was near
i cried
alone
i prayed
alone
i ran interference for my daughter
she didn't need to see this
so i did it
alone
the heavens above
released with me
phone calls made
daughter is in shock, but on her way over
she needs to say goodbye too
what do my daughter and i have to share now?
another tethering cord has been cut
i am numb
i can only listen to the rain
ten years
twice a day insulin shots
no more
lily is finally at rest
