SEA LION PUP

Bonjour Meme,

If I knew then, what I know now, I would have left the sea lion pup alone. I'm okay, and I can see Me' Loss is okay, or at least she looks okay. But I've been stuck in a roll-away since I limped back home.

I wasn't sure what the thing was laying on the sand. And when I got the nerve to look up close, it was a sea lion pup. And I just had to see if it was okay, so I picked it up.

And that's when I heard the roar!

I remember running, meme. And praying I made it to the Hangman's Tree. I almost reached the tree, and then I was flying through the air! When I woke, I limped back to the shelter, limping and hoping all the while that I didn't pass out before I got back.

I'm not going to be rescued; at least I can't count on being found when I don't even know where I'm at. I've always been unlucky. I don't know why I even try.

Meme, your words have always lifted my sadness, with their hope, when I have none, with their guidance, when all seems lost. Hope when I'd rather give up.

Meme, you help me, even if we're not together.

Maybe tomorrow I'll find my way back home.

Sleep well, meme.
