You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine....

As you may have read in my last post it has been a terribly hectic year for hubby and I. We finished renovations on our home and then put it on the market to sell. Well it sold in 13 days! And then we had a settlement period of 35 days. So as you can imagine things have been non stop as we packed and moved items.

 However, 9 days before the settlement of our house the absolute sunshine of my life, my doggy soul mate, my everything had a seizure/fit of some kind which she didn't recover from and had to be put to sleep. She was only 12.5 years old.

That was on Monday 21st of July. So in my last week before moving house fully I was busy organising her cremation and inviting a small amount of family and friends to come to her viewing and a lunch to celebrate Missy Precious' life.

We have moved house and are now slowly settling in. Unfortunately I still don't have a studio to create in but remain hopeful it will be very soon. And last Saturday I went back to work for the first time since she passed and it was hard. It was only a short shift to ease me back in. And on Sunday morning whilst getting ready for work I had a complete breakdown and couldn't stop crying for 1.5hours and had to call work to let them know I wouldn't be in. So it has been a hard long journey, but I am trying.

Thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to leave me message on my fb page etc regarding the loss of my beautiful loyal Labrador, they are appreciated more then you could ever know. But right now I am learning a 'new' kind of normal without her and I hope to start creating again soon.
