9TH Blogoversary

9 years ago today I started blogging.
My very first post I remember well was called Meet the Manx.
The entire reason for blogging was because of that little tiny girl of mine, Abby.

I had begun a personal journal about my search for Abby that started several weeks before I found her. Once I got her home, I began searching online for an outlet to continue writing and that was where I found the idea of blogging.

My entire purpose of this blog was to record our daily life. I couldn't blog everyday when I first began, but over time I did do a post a day. At least one, sometimes there have been times when I've don't multiple ones.

When I first began, it never occurred to me that there would be losses I would have to deal with. No, that came much later. Many tears  have been shed  over the years as I've seen so many leave for the Bridge, including my own two.

 Now I've come full circle. From losses to new founded love. We've celebrated Gotcha days and birthdays and transitions of loss. Time changes us, for good, for bad. I celebrate 9 years today with far more knowledge than I began with but also with a great deal more insight. There is still so much to share, even memories of those who have departed and who I will always honor. Because you see, this all began because of one tiny feisty tuxie girl. She will always be my muse and inspiration. I carry her deep in my heart and cherish her memory. Now Annabelle will be the resident Manx Muse and will treat me to a whole new set of adventures.
Abby would approve.
A little.
