It has been 35 days since the love of my life went home to his creator. It happened quickly ..he had a massive coronary and thankfully very little pain. His ashes are in an M&M tin on the mantle ( small amount in my necklace) and I talk to him all the time. I am trying very hard to adjust to not having him around. He was always smiling and happy and I really miss that. But will do as he would expect and go on till it is my turn to be with him. I have our five dogs and they are a big help. You just can't stay unhappy with five HAPPY tails wagging at you. This is the last picture of him and his last project. He had progressed to birdhouses. I will never get used to not having him here but with time will be able to do the things that need done. One good thing, the last puppy is spayed now. So at least no more new ones. Gonna get a quilt top out eventually and start quilting it. So I am a survivor.
