In loving memory of Lucy (2012 – 2026)

✎ What do you remember from your last day together? I tried so hard to keep it together. Going straight home to shower because you peed on me; then straight to my psychiatrist was idek… idk how i did it, but I pulled through it. I remember feeling i’ll never be able to catch a break. You needed peace, my silly girl. I’m glad I was able to help you. I miss you more than words. Where did all the time go, Lucy? Why is today hitting the hardest. I don’t know how to manage my emotions right now as i’m writing this, and I hope no one sees this. I’ll come back here every day to light a virtual candle because you deserve it, Lucy. You deserve it all.

✎ What was their first night at home like? I remember being 7 years old, in my Hello Kitty Pajamas, being kneaded on by you all night. I will never forget that day you came home, Lucy. I hope you know how much you made me feel so loved and safe.

✎ What funny habit did they have? Grooming. She loved grooming, sleeping, and eating! She slept in such silly positions. I miss you every day, Lucy.

✎ What did they smell like? My maple syrup girl. Your smell was pure bliss. Musky maple syrup with vanilla :)
