We just laid to rest Bonsai’s & Lucy’s remains in the garden.

I lit a candle with positive intent. We burned & breathed sandalwood incense while it smoldered & smoked. I played “Sleep Baby Jane” by Over the Rhine. Husband held my hand & I held fast to his while I cried. I cried hard. He let go when it was time & gently with his shovel drew dirt & earth back onto & into the small hole he’d dug for their two small containers.

They were good girls.

They were very, very good girls.
