It’s been a really scary time, this 2020, and I’m very much hoping the chaos quiets down just a little bit, just for a little while, to give us time to cope.
I will say that our various circles have been just amazing at stepping in and offering support, and it means the absolute world to us. It’s been strange and surreal and gut wrenching, yeah, but all these hands and voices behind us, wanting to help cushion the fall any way they can think of- well, it helps.
I was laying in bed this morning, half hoping and half dreading the phone ringing. Sunday mornings are a time for laying in bed, reading the news together, and snuggling down into a nest of ‘not right now’.
I had my head resting on Rick’s shoulder, pretending for just a minute that going back to sleep was an option (ha!). Bree decided she needed to show me she cared too- she crept up and laid her head down where my shoulder meets my neck and snuggled in.
I truly believe our pups know when we’re hurting and worried, and want to help us. Whatever today brings (and it’s been all good news so far), that’s the moment that I’m going to return to in my mind instead of lingering on the bad parts.
How are we? Coping with lots of love and support, and maybe a little snuffling and drool.
