Blogoversary

It's a Thankful Thursday.

You woke up.

Breathing.

One breath 

at

a

time.

Thankful for

being.

 Today is my 14th blogoversary.

Thankful.

Most years I published everyday.

While I was working in my earlier years

of blogging I may not have been able to

publish as often.

But, to say how grateful I am for those early

posts is an understatement.

They are a testament to Abby's life.

Gracie's life.

And to the lives of Boo, Ping & Jinx.

Later to Annabelle.

And now to Mina, Mille, Maize,Micki & Mona L.

But this was all for you.

My sweet girl.

Who I miss so much.

When they tell you words can describe 

a feeling or scene,

it's so true.

Saying I miss you doesn't do it justice.

For this anniversary came 3 days after you left

for the Bridge in 2013.

August is a solemn month.

The entire summer is. Too many losses.

But, the sun always rises and sets.

Everything continues onward.

Even Grief.

Weaving its way into Life.

***

Thank you for all the years.

I will always cherish each of the memories inside of me.

I carry you with me always.

Even though it may not sound like it,

I am eternally grateful.
