I love it here. I love the redwoods. I love the ocean. I love myself.
Several things have come up for me and for the first time in a long time, I haven't felt the need to bury them. I've been journaling more, dreaming more, reading more, and smiling constantly.
Moon died yesterday. Thank you to everyone who contributed in her long life while I was growing up. She was well loved and she loved well.

peaceful passing
I had a hard time letting go and believing Lois that Moon really was suffering to the point of needing to be put down. I woke up around 5 Thurs morning and sat with her for a while. She was whining in her sleep, something she did a lot of in the last few months. I went back to sleep and Lois didn't wake me when she took her to the vet. Around 9:05 I woke up and thought Moon was in the room and woke me up. Then I remembered and I wondered if she came to say goodbye. Lo was home shortly after and confirmed that was the time she died - with her head in Lois' lap. Lois cried telling me about petting her and talking to her and how sweet the vet was. The vet said she was 90% blind, had tumors and hip dysplacia and it really was time for her to go. So many feelings. I miss her. I also feel relief. It was so hard wanting to help her and still she was suffering. Missing Moon also really makes me miss you. I'm so glad you had her steady, sweet presence all these years. I'll always remember the two of you together. I love you! Mom
