Wanda's dead.

I went to take a shower today and Wanda, my bathroom spider, was gone. She either died and fell down the drain, or somebody put her down there, or she just relocated. The reason this matters shouldn't escape you.

I spent more time with Wanda than I did most of my friends in the last few days, what with work, and how frequently I shower and use my bathroom when I finally AM home.

The main point is, every time I came back, Wanda was there. When Wanda wasn't there, I felt pretty bummed out. We all might fight with each other, or get disappointed with each other, but we're always here, you know?

I never took the time to think about friendship and companionship like that. It's not who is here now, it's who WILL BE here.
Sometimes I'll leave to my own world for awhile and not see everyone for a bit, but I'm always here.
I'm seeing a friend tonight that I haven't seen in a year and a half, which is awesome, but also proves a point to me.

No matter how far anyone goes, or if they never come back, I'll still be here. I'm willing to be that constant, I suppose.

couldn't agree more.

also, I had a similar experience with a spider in my backyard that built a web consistently every day right outside the door, and every day it got blown down by the wind because maybe it was a bad spot to pick. but there it was back every day and then one day it never came back, and I was actually sad.
