To Freddie, One Year Later 11/9/04
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey whaassup, Freddie?
This morning when mom woke up, she held me close for a really long time. I knew what day it was, too. She was very quiet and threw the clock on the floor, and told me I was more important then all the time in a day.
It's been a year since your number was called up and you were lifted up to go to heaven. We had a huge storm after that and 19 trees came down that night, but nothing hit your spot. Eric went out the next day and there was this circle around you that nothing had touched, dude, nothing. He said you were magic! But I always knew that.
After you died, I was tested for leukemia twice and no, I don't have it, but last May a coyote came into the yard and I fought it so hard I lost half my tongue. Mom says I only have one life left so she's constantly afraid I'm gonna join you sooner than later, but it will be later. My own mama told me so. Did ya see her up there? I think you did! And oh, by the way, I have a new girl and her name is Snowball. She lives with your mama across the way. Mom said she's from Siam or something and not to piss her off. Women!
I miss ya, buddy. I miss ya tons every day. Your fishing pole is still behind the big green chair, but it's not mine now Freddie because it has your ghost love all over it. I miss chasing bugs in the sun with you, eating crickets by the pumpkin patch with you, and most of all, there's nobody in the shrubby knoll anymore. It's been kinda lonely. You were a pretty good gray tabby and you'll always be the best little brother, ever. We have tons of your photos all over. It wasn't just them you know, you were the light of my life, too. So we're doin' good. We're gonna be ok. I'm not ready to come up and visit, but I'll never forget you, Freddie.
Love Always to the Moon and back,
SASHA
