Firsts and Lasts

Rosie, When you came home, I held you in a little box and buffered you from the rough road. When you left home for the final time, I once again held you in a little box, holding it closely and buffering it from any bump. I booped your nose first when you were so tiny, and I booped you again in your last hours. I held you you first, and I held you last. When I hugged you for that final, last time, all I could feel was agony and grief. I held you when you first showed symptoms, and held you when you showed the last. You were my piggy from the beginning, and my piggy at the end. I said “I love you” first, and I said it last. There are so many first and lasts with my little Rosie, and I know some day the same will be said when I get to the end with Alfie. - Kali
