this little girl georgie

purred her way into my life 15 years ago today.

when I go off to work every day, she patiently awaits my safe arrival home every night.

when I run off into the hills in the early morning, she awaits my return.

when I go out carousing late into the evening with friends, she is there at the door to greet me no matter the time I make it home.

when I disappear with a boyfriend for a couple days, she doesn't ask questions.

when I went to Italy for a month, she was waiting in the window when I arrived back in san francisco.

when I traveled to machu picchu to celebrate my 40th, she went with me in spirit.

when the dogs get fed before she does, she only mildy complains.

when I wake from a bad dream, she is there next to me on the pillow to remind me it was only a dream.

many jobs, apartments, boyfriends, and even some friends have come & gone in my life ever since I moved to san francisco 15 years ago. my loyal and furry friend georgie has been the one constant. I love her dearly.
