Jodi, you have every right to feel Sadie's loss. We lost our cat in October 2021 and we still miss him. I lost my husband Dec. 15, 1981 - 42 years ago - and I still miss him. That's the only downside of the holidays. However, somehow, something always gives us reason to perk up, even if only a little bit. Your gate blowing open unexpectedly was your "little bit" that helped you through. I hope and pray you have many more "little bits" to lift your spirits. Our former co-worker Mike Scianamea lost his beloved dog Max about a month ago. So, he and his wife recently went to a shelter just to look and found a dog who looked so much like Max, so they adopted him right then and there. Maybe this is something you could consider, sooner than later? I'm sure Sadie would approve.
Jodi - thanks for sharing. I haven’t been much in the holiday spirit and I couldn’t figure out why until I saw a commercial recently and it dawned on me that I am missing my parents during this time of year. I try to remind people to spend as much time as you can with your loved ones; life is short, so buy those shoes!! Merry Christmas and hope to see you over the holidays!!
