Sad Days

Me, my special ladyfriend, and my Mom had to say goodbye to a good friend yesterday, quite unexpectedly. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to deal with death but this one has hit me pretty hard, mainly because it has been such a shock. Lucy, our golden retriever, died in her sleep on Sunday night. Lucy pre-dated me and my ladyfriend meeting, and about a year and a half ago was graciously taken in by my Mom to start a second chapter in her life that came to an end sooner than any of us would have liked. I won’t eulogize Lucy here - this is a silly blog, after all - so I’ll just leave it with saying how much the three of us will miss her.
