December 29th is a day that will pretty much forever suck. A year ago to about the minute we had to say goodbye to a dear friend. Time goes by so quickly but it doesn't seem to make talking about or thinking of her any easier or less painful. Her happy smile, her raised eyebrow, her gentle nudge saying "dad, scratch me between my eyes, cause you know I love it".As if I could ever forget. Everyday at work, I have my coffee in my rottie mug, which is inscribed with a saying that embodies everything that she is... depending on the day sometimes our coffee together brings a chuckle and sometimes a tear.
"I AM A ROTTWEILER. MY SUBSTANTIAL FRAME YIELDS STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE, AND MY TRANQUIL, SELF ASSURED AND SPIRITED TEMPERAMENT MAKES ME A DEVOTED COMPANION. ALTHOUGH I HAVE AN INNATE DESIRE TO PROTECT MY HOME AND FAMILY, THERE IS ROOM FOR FUN AND GAMES."
Little Willow personifies her in so many ways and it makes me happy to see that maybe in some sort of bewildering way, she's still beside us in every waking moment. Today, one year later, I don't miss or love you any less Josey.
