Grief

 You thought that grief is a friend

One that you've thought you got to know more closely over the days that's gone by

You're hit with the realisation that

No matter how much you thought you have gotten to know him

You forgot that the only reason you've gone comfortable with him

Is because he was slowly stepping further away

Then you're hit with the realisation

When he comes to visit you again

That he will never be someone you get used to.

Hi readers,

I don't know if there's anyone who would still read blogs but here I am today writing. I lost a companion, a friend, and a fur baby. His name was Kuddles and I got to know him over the last two years of his 15 year life.

He was my Prince of Darkness - always grumpy but one would mistake that for dislike. Towards the end of his life, he was less so. Thinking that it was because of old age, related to personality change, but little did we know that it was him withering slowly.

In my heart, he is always going to be my fur baby whom I'll miss seeing walking in circles, staring blankly at me for food, and would fall asleep on my chest.

I hope you're in a better place now Kuddles (12/12/2025). It was a short but sweet life with you and I hope I get to see you again someday.
