You Haven't Even Left Yet
For Work
Or Whatever You Do
All Day
While You're Away
...
But I Miss You Already
I hope this Sunday finds you well. This quote came from a post in one of my Spanish groups and I thought it fitting to share; we were discussing returning to work and how our pets aren't used to being alone anymore. For those of us who were fortunate to spend part of our pandemic time with our pets, let's be grateful for that "extra" time we had together today.
Join us today if you'd like to share your story and be around others.
If you can't, share a memory of them with someone you love.
#WeeklyMemoryPrompt
How excited was your pet(s) to see you when you came home? Did you have a ritual that you used to do together? How did they show you their excitement? Spend a few minutes remembering that wonderful "coming-home" time and then write.
