• JOSIE

  This morning, our grandson Pat, helped me bury Josie in the back yard.  We wrapped her in a gold and white tablecloth and laid her under the lilac bushes with her head facing toward the house.
  
  She passed during the night without a sound as we slept. In the morning I stroked her head as I usually do, but this time, she didn’t respond.
  
  I’ve been expecting it for along time, but….
  
  it hurts, and I feel so empty.
