A few tidbits...

Isn't it the little things in life that make us happy! Truly, I could not be more happy today. The window is in and looks A-MAZING! And the sun is shining brightly...couldn't have picked a more perfect day to install it! I did snap a few photos and will hopefully get those uploaded tomorrow morning!

Remember this post? So hard to believe it's been 5 years that have passed since that day!  During this time every year R and I find ourselves going back and reflecting on everything that has happened since then. It's been such a journey and still continues to be...everyday, but we're hanging in there...he's hanging in there. I so wish I could change the way things are, his hurt and pain, but I can't unfortunately!

And I miss this guy...

 
Before R left for Iraq the first time we decided to get K a puppy. She is such an animal lover!! We surprised her and brought Tucker home and she was beyond excited. He was such a cute little guy and such a good puppy. While R was deployed he became my buddy...followed me everywhere and slept at my feet every night. I just loved him and so did K. To make an extremely long story short...with all that we had going on in our life we had to find him a new home. It was an extremely hard decision for me....I cried for days and still miss him. He has been living with a family here in Maine for the past 2+ years with lots of room to run and play and is very happy. We told K that after we were settled into our new home and things got back to normal (somewhat) that we would look and find another lab puppy to add to our family. So that's what we're doing! We're hoping to add one within the next few months and couldn't be more excited about it. She already has a name picked out and it just makes me smile knowing that she is going to love this pup with all her heart!!

I have no idea what to say but I wanted to leave a comment. Thank you for sharing your story. So much courage, strength and love in your home. You're such an inspiration.

Hooray for the new window and the new puppy that will soon be a part of your family.

I am a sucker for a cute face. I am sure you will find the perfect dog for your family. Glad things went well on the window install. 5 precious years, I wish you many, many more.

Not that I've had anywhere near the experiences that you and your family have had, but one thing I've always said to myself along the way is, "I wouldn't be who I am today, if it weren't for the experiences in my past, the good and the bad." You're stronger for it, your more compassionate for it and more appreciative for it and even though we've never met, I'm grateful to you and your family for your sacrifices.

Such an adoring puppy!! How could you not love him? I know your pain a little over 4 years ago I had to let go of one of my favorite pets. He was a Rott. He was the most gentle and great friend. He was suppose to be my son's. He brought him home from one of his jobs and I didn't really want to have him but we just got so attached to each other. It was the hardest thing for me to do when I had to let him go to another home. (Besides letting my kids move on to another chapter in their lives). I still miss him to this day.
Have a wonderful day!!!
