Not sad, just lonely

We all have our own limit and I think I have reached mine. It has been 8 long months without stepping foot on English soil and 5 months without any physical contact with family and friends. My companion here in Brazil is my little Brazilian dog, who has been with me almost from day one. He is not a person, just a rather odd, 4-legged ball of fluff, but without a doubt he keeps me sane, he gets me through the year. Preparing for a meeting with my brother in Rio I sent the ball of fluff to the kennels, it was only as I re-entered a rather empty flat that I realised how important my companion is. Without him I am not sad, just lonely.
