I May Be MIA...

I normally don't like to get too personal on this blog, but since I may be MIA for a while I might as well post about what's going on. Early Monday morning my dog Jack passed away. It was so sudden and unexplained that I may still be in shock from the whole experience. I lost so much sleep and drank so much coffee and whiskey there was a time that I dozed off yesterday and woke up hoping it was only a nightmare. Some people may laugh or not understand but its amazing the impact that a little black dog can make on your day to day life. I can honestly say that right now I don't have passion for anything, cooking and eating are furthest from my mind, and my heart simply aches.

I know that time is the ultimate healer, and that with time I can learn to celebrate life but it seems like loss is always most painful in the beginning. I am so thankful for my husband Hank and the support of my family and friends, its comforting to hear a kind word, a thoughtful prayer, or a funny anecdote about Jack. Anyways, I don't want to drag this on, hopefully I will return to blog later this week, I appreciate your patience! Now get off the internet and hug your dog or call your family, you'll never regret even the small moments you spent with them.
