Dear Corona, I miss you, still each day. Maybe a little less?, I don't think so, you are still so fresh in my heart, my hands, I can still feel you. We are moving from this place, never again will I have to travel down the road to the place that took you from me. I am still angry at the person who robbed us of eachother, I hope they have felt some guilt, some sadness, something at least, the coward! I miss you so much Rona, I have stopped crying everyday, but I am still so sad without you. Sometimes I think I hear you, once I thought I saw, but I can still feel you. I remember the way your head felt and your ears, and your tummy. Your chubbly little rump and the way I could make a big ripple with your neck fur. Your beautiful big brown seal eyes and the way you would like the air for a "taste" of your beer (corona). I am unable to drink it anymore, it makes me sad. Maybe in bittersweet celebration of the (how do you like this)sale of our house, it is official on the day of your death, I will drink a Corona, and toast to you! I just miss you baby.
Benjamin was born in January, he loves Rocko and Layla (the new addition) loves him, she sometimes looks at me like, "how can I help you feel happy?" You were the best Corona, I can't ever get you back, not by moving, not by greiving, not any way. Maybe I need some help, but the experts say the first year is just the start of the process. I don't want to feel sad anymore, I want to enjoy my memories of you, and I do, but all memories lead me to this rotten memory and the events leading to the worst day of my life. Sometimes I just convince myself that you just died, sadly you died, and not theway you did, you were just gone, but then reality hits me full force and everything returns. Benjamin is the brightness and sunshine in my life, and I know you would have been wonderful together, maybe he sees you, children can see angels and you are our angel. Forever I will love you, forever I will remember you, I look forward to the day when we will be together forever! I love you Ronaroo, my little wigglesworth.......
