Amazing friends!

Although D and I have had quite a few streaks of crap luck in the past few years, topping off with the loss of Quincu Guiness O'Malley two days ago, we are very very blessed with our amazing friends. My counter is full of flowers and beautiful cards. My wine rack would be full of new bottles of wine too from all of the offers to come over with wine yesterday, but we just weren't into having company. Poor D is taking this so hard. I am holding up much better than I thought. I think because I have been through the loss of pets before, the loss of a good friend Jim and of course my dad. This is D's first real loss, and although lucky not to experience it until age 36, my heart just breaks for him. Q was his best friend in the world. We work from home and instead of a smoke break he would take a 5 minute "snuggle break" with Q.

It is just too quiet in our house now. I miss our boy so much and wonder if I will ever be able to not cry when I walk into the house and not see him bumbling down the stairs at neck-breaking speed. Even Higgies(the cat) hasn't eaten in two days. This is the first time our 20 lb fatboy has ever skipped a meal. It was his best friend too. Hopefully he crossed that rainbow bridge and my dad is taking care of him until we come and meet him again.
