14 Jan 1839

A while ago, I told Dodo that I will be with her every single step of the journey, no matter how tough it would be.

I am not sure if I have managed to keep my promise.

I was not with her when she was admitted to hospital. I was not around to keep her company during the daytime visiting hours when she was hospitalized. I was only at the vet hospital for about 2 hours at night after ending my work day. I was not there to discharge her from hospital. I was also not at home to keep her company when she finally came back after 2 long unhappy nights at the hospital.

I was not there to catch her when she collapsed in the kitchen. I was not with her in the few hours before she left. Instead, she struggled to hold on while she waited for me to rush home just so we could have that last 10 minutes together.

Maybe even if there’s really Rainbow Bridge, I am not worth waiting for…
