I just spent a couple of hours uploading all of Nick's pictures to my new Flickr account. I love how organized they all are now. I was thinking of him this morning and figured I might as well get all his photos organized and uploaded.
I cried for Nick this morning. It was a different kind of cry today. I don't know why or how to explain it. It just felt bittersweet. It didn't feel as painful as the cries I've had the last few weeks. Achilles slept by me all night last night, his first night sleeping all the way through the night. I woke up around 6 am and for a startled moment thought that he was Nick. He woke up and looked at me with his sleepy face and immediately broke out into a smile. It made me laugh out loud.
We wandered out and found Milo spread out on in the living room. I sat down and began petting Achilles. He put his head on my leg and just stretched out. Not to be outdone, Milo came scampering over and stretched out on the other side of my leg. Both of them still had sleepy faces and were yawning. The way Achilles' head was squished against my leg reminded me of how Nick used to do that.
So, on a quiet Sunday morning, while I petted my new golden babies, I cried bittersweet tears for my Nick and happy tears for my two new boys.
