“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”                    ― Anne Lamott



Oh my gosh.  This year has been a tough year.  We have lost a couple of beloved pets....

And I lost my brother, my friend, my protector.  It was so unexpected and quick....I'm having a very hard time getting past stage 2 in the grieving process.  I'm angry for a lot of things but most angry because I don't think I had enough time with him.  I'm sure anyone who has lost a loved-one feels the same way.

My family sat and scoured through old photos and memories and it was the beginning of healing.  I have a feeling it's going to be a long process.

I love you Mikie and your leaving has left a huge hole in my life.  Rest easy brother, you have earned it.
