Oh, I danced with Cinderella! I didn’t miss even one song. Then all too soon the clock did strike midnight, and she … was … gone!
Meanwhile, although I am going to drop this here tonight, I’ll have to circle back around to the words I’ll need to find to properly memorialize this bittersweet day my nest officially emptied. While I knew this day was fast approaching, I must admit that I didn’t know it would actually be this soon. How ironic is it that only hours ago I dropped this comment on a fellow squirrel mom’s post about her preparing to slowly begin letting go of her rehabbed fur babies?
Granted, and as you can see from my Life 360 screenshot, she’s only 3.5 miles away, but nevertheless … the clock has INDEED struck midnight for this widowed momma. Here’s to the next open pages and chapters for us to write in separate but also VERY much not separated castles! As for now, I think I’m going to allow myself to sob myself to sleep uncontrollably … because … even though this is the way it’s always supposed to be, it doesn’t mean it can’t rip my actual heart out momentarily. Goodnight everyone, it’s me, CAT!
