Marsha had been gone for a month at this point and life was still not the same. Some days I'd forget she was gone and get up and look for her, thinking I would find her also looking for me.
My mom still didn't have the courage to pick up her bowls or bed. There was still food in her bowl that she never finished. Everything was in the same spot as if she was going to come back.
The once full of life house was gloomy and quiet without her. Even Bailey didn't seem happy much anymore. I didn't bring it up around her. If she found me crying, I would make up a lie as to why I was. I really tried my best to keep my spirits up around her, as the last thing I wanted to see was her upset. But I know she knew.
