Last month, after much prayer, consulting with family and friends, and many tears, I ended my 3-year long relationship. I do miss him, but I feel more at peace and more empowered now.
But enough about me . . . Oliver and Rocky have been incredibly attentive since the breakup. They've been very cuddly and affectionate, and were especially so in the first couple weeks when I was fighting the urge to call the ex. The minute I get home (from work or wherever) they greet me at the door, no matter what time it is. If I go to the bathroom first, they follow me there. If I sit down, they head directly for my lap; I've taken to calling them "The Orange Swarm". Anywhere I go in my apartment, they follow me.
Not only that, Oliver hasn't had a cystitis flare-up and Rocky's allergies have gotten much better. I wonder if they were reacting to my stress.
They've been an important part of my healing in other aspects of my life, and now is no exception.
