who passed 2 yrs ago at only 65, after 10 yrs in a nursing home, i took my dog biff.
didnt know how soon she would die, but it was only months. we were 2 peas in a pod. she wasnt that far away, but i rarely visited. it was just too hard. like seeing myself in that bed.
but biff and i visited, and he got up in the bed for a cuddle, and made her smile.

i dont know where to find the smiles for the 3 babies i lost, tho.
one was a twin, whose brother is a mess and a shit. maybe if he gets his shit together.
