In early December I moved away from my beautiful home in Dundas, and away from the children I raised for ten years. Too heartbreaking to explain the reasons right now, but I couldn’t live with the wild, angry youngest teenaged daughter anymore. My older daughter – and make no argument, for in all my heart and soul she is – was hardest to leave. And now she has left me. I buried my beloved Seanna (aka Stephanie’s Monkey) on Wednesday, August 15th, 2007.
Just as falling in love with her was a process, so is saying goodbye to her. She was tough to love, tough to leave, and I don’t know how to begin to grieve her. She lived for 15 years, and I had her for ten of those, so I suppose I start the process with a holy Thank You. Sleep well, Monkey Me.
