Dear Diary,
Being unable to let go of my anxieties and questions about aging, I chose to have a heart-to-heart conversation with my witch about my worries regarding aging. I expressed my concerns about being unable to assist her with spells and other magical tasks someday like I can now. I also shared my fears of being unable to explore the magical world with her as much as I wanted. I went on and on about how I worried when I was no longer useful that a new agile kitten would replace me, and then I would be alone again.
Lillith listened patiently to my worries; every word was met with a gentle nod or hum of understanding. She waited until I had spilled and let out every burning question and worry. She started by reassuring me that we had plenty of time together as I was not even three yet with a giggle; she continued by taking me into her arms and reminding me of how much love we shared; she told me I was more than a familiar or pet, I was her family, her child. I listened with tears in my eyes as she told me that no one could ever replace me, no matter what happened.
I could sense a hint of sadness in her voice as she comforted me. It made me wonder if she was thinking about the inevitable day when I would no longer be by her side. Maybe she loves me so much that she worries about this, too. This realization led to a long, silent moment together. We laid together in bed and listened to the bugs outside until we fell asleep. Although it was a melancholy moment for us, I still felt a sense of peace and contentment, knowing we were there for each other.
