For nearly 14 years, this cabinet has stored stocks of dog's essentials. From vitamins to deworming tablets, from eye drops to ear drops, and sometimes anti inflammatory. But the space was also dominated by medicines that hold different stories, with epilepsy being the highlight 💜
Phenobarbital, potassium bromide, curpurm drops, lavender oils, and the jab that marks a more painful season- kidney failure remedies.
After her passing two months ago, I found the strength to make some room. Decluttering is something I usually enjoy.
But not today.
Tears were streaming and smiles were forced. It feels like I am betraying and deleting her from my life and at the same time confirming that my time as her Ibu has ended. I know it has but this time it's really happening?
"Marilyn is now a star." were my words when I texted my best friend about Marilyn's passing that day.
A star doesn't need all these. Especially a star like her. I know she'll shine so bright I can see her and hug her anytime I want.
The cabinet has some space now, after 13+ years, I know soon it will be filled again with other essentials.
But the void in my heart longs for her name alone. You, Marilyn, my voice of reason, my star ✨
