First morning without my little boy.

Gotta say it feels weird. I had a morning routine of waking up and feeding and watering him and giving him his morning pets. He'd always wake me up with meows because he was wanting attention. The house feels so empty now and it's odd.

Thanks to the community for the well wishes yesterday and the folks who DM'd me. Your words mean a lot and are very comforting.

  • My girl passed away pretty unexpectedly a couple years ago now. We had a routine where she’d go sleep on the couch at night but around the time she new I’d be waking up she’d come in and lay alongside my back and wait for me to get up. It took so long not to feel like she’d be coming in any second to do that

    Very sorry for your loss friend, I know how hard it is.

  • It's tough to get used to. For weeks after one of my dogs passed I would see something like a blanket on the couch in the corner of my eye and think it was her, then I'd be reminded she was gone an instant later as I realized. When you say "watering him" I picture him sitting with his mouth open as you pour water over him like a plant haha.
