I used to sing the Mariah Carey song to him, you know THAT one, but I'd replace all I want for Christmas is you with Wolfie. And it just hit me again today that he's gone hearing that song. It's like such a trigger to grief, ah damn it 
Ty, I guess I had been bottling up my grief and compartmentalizing it.
I hear ya. Sometimes you just make time to have a good cry.
My parrot died on christmas 3 years ago, it hasn't ever been the same. I add a stone to his grave every year
That's a nice way to honor him. I was thinking about getting one of Wolfie's pictures framed.
it understandable, loss is a difficult thing to come to terms with
it reminds me of that mark kingwell quote with the section about how "mourning mourns the not yet that will never be" wish you well in your journey through your grief man
Thanks. It's just so lonely not having him around and Christmas makes it even more so sense I have no family outside my dad to spend it with so it used to just be me and the cat.
