19. I'm so sorry, sprink.

I still miss two loves. My Chi Chi, she passed at sixteen years old on Dec. 9th the same day my father died. With the vet's guidance, I nursed her for six months as she was slowly moving to her Godly ordained passing.

Then Butterbean passed unexpectedly four days later on Friday the 13th. The shock was debilitating.

There are still times when I miss them so much it literally takes my breath away. I seriously can not catch my breath. It's scary.

I have baby Nollie now though and she is helping me heal my broken heart. I couldn't stand not having a soul to love and care for in my quiet house. I believe that I would have died from grief and loneliness without her. She's five months old today.

This is one of my favorite pieces of classical music. Thank you for sharing it.

I am praying for you to find solace and peace.

❤️
