scrolling through pictures last night i stopped on this one of hilde and her new pet owl. this morning i got a text saying i should probably come this week to visit as she may be near her end. i haven't seen her much since the pandemic began, and it feels strange that in that time time skipped to the end. last night i deleted so many pictures. they're in the external memory box, and i have so many more unedited. there'll be plentiful pictures of my sweet hilde to revisit, and i'll get a few more i hope before she goes, and i'll get sad when i see them and i'll celebrate the time of hilde.
