It's been 3 weeks today that we lost our lil buddy. I don't know if life could ever be the same again. Our daughter grew up with max. Side by side they grew together. Our family of four is now our family of three. I thought the pain would subside after three weeks but it hasn't. There has been good days but right when you think you've gotten it off your mind you have a flashback of something he would be doing if he were here. I know this is selfish to say but I wonder why a turtle can live 125 years and a dog or cat only lives 10-15 years. We raise them from pups and watch them grow and then we have to watch them die. :'(
I'll never in my life get the image of max collapsing on the floor. His big ole eyes looking at me. They never shut again. It hurts tremendously. I wish he were still here where he belongs. Christmas will never be the same again. He loved Christmas. He had as many gifts as we would have. Don't mean to keep dwelling on his death but it's still just so unreal. I can't remember a time of not having him around. |
