MacReady's birthday is this Sunday. We're going to take a walk down his favorite route, and put together a shadow box in his honor. He is the last thing I think about at night, and the first thing I think about in the morning. I even heard him bark one night... it was his playful, naughty bark and I actually found it comforting to think for a few moments during lucid dreams that he is still with me.
I also wrote a poem for him.
The Lady and the WolfYou loved me like a child
So completely and so endless
Your golden hair and ocean eyes
Stopped me cold; left me breathless
No questions asked,
No judgments made
No walls of preconceptions
You saw through me for miles
And walked them in protection
So when you had to leave
You took a piece of me
And now that you are free
Please reach out to me
Through the rain
Through my tears
Through the night
Through my dreams
From inside
An untamed star

I'm seriously considering [again] closing down this blog. I just don't really know what the point is anymore.
