31.1

 It's been a full calendar month since you left. And that's still how I think of it, so much -- "left", like you took a walk and you'll be back any day now.

I don't know how, but life goes on going on. Summer had her first visit at her new home yesterday. Did you see how frightened she was? That, if nothing else, would have made you want to be here again, I know it would have. She still needs you.

So do I.

In two more days, it will have been 5 months since you left. Five months without you seems... unfathomable. You have missed so much, and life just keeps going on without you. Missy's had her first post-you vet visit. F is finally giving C the flick. M now has a worker under her that I deal with, a man. I'd rather deal with M, but he's okay. Depending what happens with my Sunday, I may have as many as 8 workers on my team, plus Dr M and Dr E. I'm having some medical tests done. Change is everywhere. You'd have hated it (change) as much as I do. But you would have walked through it with me. And damn you for leaving me to do it all alone.
