Welcome to the new blog...I've scrapped an old one that celebrated more of my freedoms and fake golf career, etc. There's been a new chapter open for the last 4 years especially, having a wonderful daughter will do that. And her mom's not bad either! The time to shed the old, slightly after-college blog has come and this is the new. Enjoy. I will live my college-age 20's memories out thru Julie_Gong and others, they are great writers!
The title "A Bittersweet Christmas" is very indicative of the Christmas I had. While watching my daughter open up all her latest gifts in whirlwind-like fashion (and yes, Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake and the gang our back), our family dog of almost 10 years, Hannah, had to be put to sleep Christmas Eve. I had the cell phone in my hand all day at the crappy Steelers performance and on the way to the lake house, waiting for the call on how the surgery was going. It was a sudden illness that crept up on Friday, the 22nd, but had been awhile in coming as it turns out. It was a sad decision to make, for sure. One will never understand if they haven't had pets. We do feel a hole in our hearts right now. We waited until after the holiday to explain to the "Bratz girl" what had happened. She did seem to understand and was sad but at ease. Funny how kids can be like that...
Thanks for listening. See the attached, Hannah was a wonderful lab!
