We have just past the 6 month mark of Brut's anniversary and it was tough. I dove down into a deeply severe grieving period while making the Christmas card that is the header. Three weeks of tears, sleepless nights, early mornings and vast sadness.
I don't know that it will get easier as we hit more 'first' without Brut physically here, but I know I still have Silver and all his kids that are here and out there in the world that are carrying on his legacy. Slowly the pain ended and there was balance in my world again. That boy always did carry me to the moon and back...
And it just wouldn't be Christmas without the infamous Brut snarl!
And while that's hard to top, I mean we are talking about Brut here, right? You my faithful readers are right on his paws. 24 Paws of Love readers are the most supportive, loving and understanding bloggers on this planet. We can not begin to thank you enough for your care and compassion as we wind down this river, jutting a new course in life and having you there with us.
You have helped to brighten our sorrows when we felt alone and misunderstood by the outside world. We have laughed at funny post and silly sayings when we thought we could never feel love again. And you have cried with us, holding our pain in your hearts... 'thank you' just isn't enough, but please know it comes from the bottom of our hearts...
Thank you Friends, Thank you.
I'd like to take a special moment for those whom have lost loved ones this past year. Forgive me, I know there are more, these are the ones I know.
