The day after Otis has gone from my life by: Judy B. Otis' Mom
Today is not any easier than yesterday. When I was able to sleep for short naps during the night, my last thought before sleep was of Otis, and the first when I awakened. Then came the long empty tears again as I remembered that Otis is no longer with me.
I seem to be unable to get past that I should have brought my baby home from the vet with me for one more day. My grief would be slightly better if only I had a final day to love and kiss him, and to let him sit outside on the balcony as he loved. Even though I know it would only be one day and I still would have to endure putting him to sleep, it is too late now. Things happened so fast yesterday. It is my greatest regret. How will I ever get past that I didn't do this for him?
Toilet paper could never be on the holder when Otis was around. He always unrolled it and ripped it to shreds. For 12 years I had to hide the toilet paper from him. I cannot bring myself to put the toilet paper roll on the holder now. =(
