#i’ve had her all her life and lver half of mine

[wildtalon8]

I just find it novel, how humans grieve. How we keep little things as mementos. Whether it’s pressed leaves and flowers to remember a season long gone, or the teeth of a beloved companion lost to time. We understand that everything is finite, yet we hold onto crumbs. Trinkets to hold and remember.

For many, grief is easier processed with something physical. The collar of a pet, the ring of a spouse, the toy of a child… Holding these items close to you is so natural for humans. It’s comforting to think about.

We’re all sentimental bastards and it’s genuinely beautiful.
