Rosie lived a beautiful and robust life. She was one of a kind: loyal, devoted, fearless, mischievous, clumsy, greedy, playful, gentle, friendly, protective, and, above all, unconditionally loving. She moved with the grace of a bull in a china shop and I miss her terribly.

Since her passing, I have received so many e-mails, cards, messages and calls from friends, near and far. Many of you have been part of Rosie's journey in life - the good and the not so good. Words cannot express my heartfelt gratitude.
Thank you for all your love and support. As difficult as it is, I must take comfort in knowing that Rosie is in a better place now, waging her tail and waiting for me.
I had to take a few days away from blogging and crafting. Could not face any of it without my constant companion. To my Design Team members, I am very grateful for your patience and understanding. Tomorrow is a new day (I say that everyday!) and I'll be back with a new project.

I'm coming over here from Vicki's blog...so sorry to hear about your loss of your Rosie...
ReplyDeleteThere aren't really any helpful words to say - but what a blessing for Rosie that you were the last thing she felt and saw. Tears in my eyes just writing that :) She was a lucky lucky girl to have you - and I know the feeling is mutual. Sending lots of hugs.
