Goodbye, goofy kitty.

elfsWe buried Dinah this morning, after Omaha came home from her business trip. It was a quiet ceremony. I'd dug a hole in the back yard, four feet deep, and taken the little cardboard coffin out and put in in the living room with the little altar we'd set up-- candle, photo, her toys, things like that.
Our friend Rhea came over and helped, since she knows more about ritual than I do about programming, and after a respectful time where everyone said their last wishes for her, we all petted the body one last time. Kouryou-chan commented on how cold she felt-- well, she'd been in the freezer since Tuesday. Dinah looked so peaceful like that, curled up, and I felt so sad, because I knew she wasn't going to wake up, and that just hurt me so much.
We buried her in the back yard, and said goodbye, and... that was that. I'm such a sentimental wreck.
