Broken Heart

Even though this is a week of Thanksgiving, and celebrating – I am entering this with a broken heart. 

Sunday morning we woke to find our amazing and loving dog had passed away during the night.

Jack was such a huge part of our family that we are lost without him. 

My girls are sad, especially Elyzabeth.  Her best friend is gone, and she is devastated. 

But what has broken my heart even more, is my greatest friend lost her mother last night. 

In January, it will be 2 years since my mother in law passed… and it still feels as fresh as if it was yesterday.  The loss is so deep, words cannot come close to describing.

So, as I write this… Jess- please know I love you and I am here for you.  Know that you and your family are constantly in my thoughts during this difficult time.   And anything you need… I am just a phone call away.

So – Hug your loved ones! Cherish the closeness of family (even if you aren't getting along.)  And be there for each other when it seems like the world is falling apart.    Because, we are only as strong as the people around us.
