Well, it's been a minute since I last posted here. Two years, if you're counting.
After a two year struggle with diabetes, pancreatitis and blindness, my precious Ben passed away the afternoon of June 8, 2022.
He went peacefully at home; there was no pain.
Ben was almost 17 years old. He gave me the happiest years of my life, and I gave him the best life I could. We were soulmates. I truly believe that.
I miss him everyday.
I know that won't ever change.
To be truthful, I'm lost without him. My home and my life feel empty.
To deal with the emptiness, I've found myself a job; a distraction.
I've been working retail for almost four months now. It's been interesting, frustrating, stressful and often exhausting.
But ... it's been a distraction. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
How've you been?
I am truly sorry for this huge loss. It's been 8 months now for me and I can't tell you it will be any different for you in 8 months. At least not for us. It's been loudly quiet here since.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peggy. Loudly quiet is right :(
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear from you, but so sorry for your loss. Pets are family.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle. Ben was definitely family. He was my family.
DeleteHey girl. I wondered where you have been. So sorry to hear about Ben. My Buddy has crept into old age himself. Your job sounds like a good distraction. I have been researching part-time jobs and volunteer situations. I have to be in a situation where I can take the day or hour off if my blood sugar goes off. Not to many positions that will pay you do work when you feel up to it, hahaha. No seriously, I am much better and my insulin pump has made so much difference in my life.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, glad you're doing well. Retail is not for everyone but they are flexible about hours specially with the part-timers. Standing for long hours is brutal though, so be warned, lol. ♥
DeleteOh Sue I'm so sorry to hear about your dear Ben. t's coming up to two years since our beloved Buster died and I think of him regularly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Polly. It's really tough going. I'm sorry for your loss as well ♥
