My spouse and I had this recreation every time I’d go mountaineering or backpacking. I’d take a stuffed animal, one of many 90 or so we owned, pose them on my hikes, and take photos of them to share along with her. My spouse isn’t a hiker however she is aware of it’s one thing I like and the stuffed animals gave us a option to keep related throughout my absences.
I’ve 1000’s of images of our stuffed animals from my journeys on Vermont’s Lengthy Path, the Appalachian Path, The TGO (Nice Out of doors Problem) and The Cape Wrath Path in Scotland, and a gazillion on the summits within the White Mountain Nationwide Forest. She all the time obtained a chuckle out of seeing them and listening to tales of their adventures with me.
However the pleasure of our companionship could quickly come crashing to an finish. Whereas we’ve grown aside in recent times, we nonetheless shared a deep friendship for each other, respect, and admiration. She is preventing for her life as I write this and I worry the worst. The world was a greater place along with her. I can’t think about what will probably be like if she leaves.
