I am thankful for people who have cared enough and/or are polite enough to ask me how I am doing. Although I have answered honestly, “not good” “weight-wise? good but life sucks”. I am thankful that they have asked and forced me to respond to the outside world.
Our dear, sweet Harper June passed from this world Monday night and I am in survival mode. My heart is broken. I am trying to deal with our loss. I have moments. Both good and bad. I will break down. Again and again. I will smile again. I smile when I watch the videos we have of our precious Harper. I even laugh out loud when I hear her bark and tiny growl. This experience reminds me of just how fragile and precious life is. Love completely and let your loved ones know the depth of your feelings. Love is so much better shared and not bottled up.
A cheerful heart is a good medicine. Proverbs 17:22
