14 Jan 1511

I always thought corpses are cold, scary and morbid. As such, I never wanted to be near one. That is, until last Friday.

There was totally no fear when I touched Dodo’s cold body. I rested my head on her body, then kissed her nose and her forehead and said good night. This is something that I have grown used to doing over the years before I sleep. This is our routine – and it is not going to change just because the body is now cold instead of warm.

She was truly pretty to her last. She still looks so cute and at peace lying in her bed. In the same position she usually is in and holding her small bolster. It’s almost as if she’s just in a deep slumber.
