Goodbye Polly

Mom and Sam had to put this little angel of a dog down today:



she was just shy of her 17th birthday. part of me wishes i could've been there, but the other part is glad i wasn't. the long distance insulated me enough to where i wasn't a complete mess today. unlike Mom and Sam.

she called me tonight and told me about Polly's last day and how everything went as well as it could have. the call started off normally, but as she went on, she started getting upset. the small details of how it all went down caused that insulation i spoke of to start breaking away and the emotion hit me, too.

i love you, Polly! i will always remember you.
