the sun has gone to bed and so must I

I don't know if I can emphasize it anymore... I hate goodbyes. The natural course of life involves many transitions and changes. Leaving and saying goodbye to people and places is a part of that natural process. However, that doesn't make the whole thing any less painful or frustrating.

I had to say goodbye to friends this week. Some I will miss for a few weeks, others a few months, and there are some who I may never cross paths with again.








I was so excited to get home today. But I found myself in the middle of a mess at home. Among other things, I found out that one family member was very ill. Our poor baby Bailey was so sick. When I saw her I knew and it made me sad. We all took her to the vet. to have her put to sleep. My mom, my sister, and I couldn't stop crying. There we were saying goodbye to her as she lay there weak from the cancer with her tail still wagging at all of us. Part of family is doing things like that together.
