It's fitting...

...that we have snow today.  Two years ago on this day a storm raged as I drove with my best girl on our last car ride together.  She went from being "herself" to suffering in such a short time -- I couldn't believe that she was being stolen from me at not even 10 years old.  There was no question of what I had to do and that it couldn't wait.  I arrived before the office opened and had to wait with her such a painfully long time for our vet to arrive.  I desperately wanted to help her and make the pain go away.  Everything after that was a blur but when she was gone I could barely bring myself to leave her. 

 I wanted to lock myself into that room and cry into her coat forever. 

 

I returned home and immediately sorted through all the pictures and the the memories that they held.

 

 

It's been a rough two years without her but I am so lucky to have her son Brag who brightens every day and reminds me so much of her in every way. 

I still think of her constantly but now it is with more smiles than tears.

Miss you, love you...
