Patches Journey

Wow…….I’m always humbled by the kindness of everyone who is on this site.  You’re all so sweet and always make me feel cared for.   Being understood is way more important than I ever thought.  It’s uplifting actually.  And I usually reply to each comment individually but everyone was so kind that I wanted to group thank lol.  Sally, Paula, Linda, Erika and the lovely Bull Mastiff Mom……all of you who commented, everyone who read and thought of us, I feel like when I have a bad day and vent you all send me hugs.  At least I know that Patches, I, her brother……..we are not on this journey alone.  We are so lucky to have the love we have here and outside of here.  It’s a shitty journey, we all know it.  I guess the lesson is to think about each step you take to get there and not about the destination.  You can deal with the destination when you get there and then begin the next journey.

Today my girl feels better.  She’s tired but happy.  She’s eating with her customary gusto again.  Her eyes are bright, she’s snuggly and huggy and kissy and I’m absorbing every second and stretching it into two.  I guess we are supposed to learn some lessons from these experiences while we are here.  The hard lessons are usually the good ones.  They build character.  My theory is that we are born a rough gem and when we die we are beautifully polished stones.  I am getting more facets right now.  My son’s theory is that good judgement comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgement lol.  For whatever it’s worth………..I’m just going to hug my son and my dogs and just for this moment, Smile.

love and xoxo

Debbie and Patches
