A Good Morning

Gentle Reader,


Morning has come, the children have gone off to school and I venture outside to care for Avery. I would speak with Jake once he is ready. He is to give me his answer this morning and I find myself apprehensive and nervously giddy at the prospect of what today could hold for us.
Only I will never know Jake’s decision, or if he even had decided.


At some point between last night’s ponderings, sending the children off to school and my walk to the backyard to feed Avery. Jake must have gotten a bit peckish.


I suppose I have only myself to blame. I have been so distracted between Claude’s recent interesting behavior, this pregnancy and Avery’s care; I must have inadvertently left the gate unlocked.


Pondering this latest incident, a thought occurs to me. Perhaps this actually is Jake’s answer. Could he have been even more morbid than I? Is it even remotely possible? Or perhaps the prospect I had presented to him was so loathsome to him he chose eternal death and…


No, I will not over think this. I will do as I always do, take his passing in the spirit it is presented to me and accept this loving gift from my Avery. Jake’s passing is obviously a sign he was not worthy of the life given to him. He was weak as were the others.

Be blessed,
