Saying Goodbye, Going Away

With a soft, gentle smile, Meadow watches Indy’s features. She does not want to hurt him or cause the purple wolf any pain but this is something she has to do. Hopefully he understands and can forgive her. Still, it breaks her heart to tell him. With a nuzzle to her cheek, Indigo tells her she will do well and he will visit her lots. A great pang of sadness resounds through her and the thought of not being able to get up every day and come to the garden to see Indy has her smile dimming. Her eyes glisten with unshed tears.

Suddenly a thought rushes up at her. Lips part and allow it to tumble out, “Come with me Indy. We could build a new garden and I could transplant some trees for you. We could make a pond and raise fish and… and…” Gaze travels up to his eyes and the words halt their fervent flow. Looking up at his sweet, kind face, Meadow’s eyes soften with kindness as her stomach drops. How could she think to impose that choice on him? How can she think to make this gentle soul choose between her and his family? It is very rude of her.

Soft smile reappears and the tears that had been shimmering in her eyes finally break their dam and spill down her cheeks. She says, “I am so sorry Indy. I don’t mean to make you choose. It was just an idea and I allowed it to get the better of me. I promise I will visit you often and bring you any flowers and herbs I find. Just… promise me one thing? Don’t forget me, okay?” Sorrow tugs at her but she puts on a brave face despite the tears that leak from her eyes. Softly she says, “I love you Indy.” and moves forward to once more be embraced by the big wolf. Oh how much this hurts.
