I hope I loved her enough

It's after 2 in the morning and I'm nowhere near ready to sleep. And I feel like I'm doing Tsinge Tsinge a terrible injustice by not having her here in our house, even though I know she'd be absolutely miserable here. But keeping her at the animal hospital in the kitty equivalent of a hospital bed seems sad.

I wish I could hug Tsinge Tsinge right now. Even just one more great big hug. And tell her how glad I am that she's been my friend and that we grew up together. It makes me realize that I should be thankful God gave her to us for 16 and a half years to love.

Through my years at Foster School. Through the madness of my two years at OJ DeJonge Jr. High School, when everyone was "stupid" and I was at my LOUDEST. Through four years of life at Ludington High School when I managed to run myself into the ground and away from my friends, and getting Daisy May. And even though I was away for a good part of this, four years at Hope College and getting Mavis too. Tsinge Tsinge and I have been through a lot together.

I hope I loved her enough. Because she's been my friend and I will miss her so much.
