Thankful turkey glyphs are up for grandparents/grandfriends day tomorrow. I love seeing what the kids are thankful for. I’ll be honest and say a few brought a tear to my eye when they wrote they were thankful for me and that I have Peatree. 😢 Sweet, sweet little friends!
And another. And another. 😂 Some days I feel like just holding my cup of coffee is like my security blanket. Just trying to stay in touch with my inner toddler. 😂
I need this reminder myself this evening, and I figured others out there could as well. What good things can you focus on? Here’s a few good things I can focus on - report cards are done, it’s finally sweater weather, I’ve convinced the mister to let me decorate for Christmas this coming weekend, and I love all of the kids I get to teach and coach.
Saying goodbye is so hard. Tonight there is a hole in our hearts after saying farewell to Carson. Even when you know something is inevitable, it can be so hard to take in when it happens sooner than expected. While I am so thankful he is no longer in pain, I selfishly wish I could have one more evening of couch snuggles with him. I’m going to miss getting him special treats in Fredericksburg, telling him to stop eating Peatree’s food, and the joy he showed every time I came home. Carson (and Peatree) was so much more than just a pet. He helped get me through some of my rockiest times with my move to Texas. Even with thrusting myself into a brand new environment with not a single family member in town, I knew I had him waiting for me at home. He was truly the sweetest dog I have ever met and had such a caring heart. What pains me the most is to know how much he loved babies and that he will never get to meet our future little one. I hope he is enjoying all the food he can eat and that his girlfriend Darlin’ is sweeter to him in heaven than when they were both here. I’ll miss you buddy.
