But like the summer sun I chase to feel it set on my face, I am not it, nor is it me. Yet between us rises an unrelenting beauty that no one can have, though we can't live without it.
Tuesday 29th
While I'm writing this, Mir is just finishing work, and then going to take my little boy, McKay, to the vet to have his ears checked, (as well as injections for other ratties). I find myself sitting imagining going with her and the rats to the vet... part of living life as our family. Over the summer I spent a lot of time with taking the rats to the vets, and being with the rats at home. I miss that part of our family life as much as I miss being with Mir herself. Our family is a beautiful one; for all that people don't understand what it is to have rattie babies.
I finally managed to get my flight booked today for my journey home at Christmas. It was something that I sorely needed to do. It was something that was in some way that I can't explain, except to say that it was a lingering fear that I wouldn't get home, but with that done, I feel like a great weight has lifted away. I think maybe it has lifted away for Mir as well. I hope it has.
I'm looking forward to going home, to be there with Mir, to sharing our time together, going to Biltmore together, cleaning up the spider webs and getting rid of the spiders so that I can make things comfortable for Mir at home. I'm looking forward to being able to go out together to the movies, or to dinner, but most of all I'm looking forward to just being together... truly being together.
The angel seeing us is watching
through each other's eyes.
