Passed by a lifeless squirrel on the road right near Mom and Dad’s a short time ago. My throat caught and tightened. A few minutes later, putting out feed, Dad’s little friend did not come. I didn’t think there was anything left to hurt but my heart hurts. The magpies were already taking care of things as I drove off.
Rest in peace dear heart, you were another connection to Dad. I know he would whisper to you and we both loved you. (Pic from last time we met)
Keychain I’d gifted Dad a few years back below; he loved it. They’re my keys now.
