7 Months Update
Dates not 100% accurate...
7 months ago...
I met Charlie...he never left...we spent the first month & a bit at my place. Had a great Christmas, lots of friends and family stuff. Poor guy had to meet almost my whole family at once. I met most of his friends during this first month.
6 months ago...
Charlie & I moved in together. This was a long long process...took us almost 2 weeks of trips back and forth with my car, and then the finally couple of days of moving stuff with my uncles pickup. We somehow ended up with about 5 couches...
4 months ago...
Foxy is pregnant. We knew that she might be, but were kind of wishing she wasn't. A couple of weeks later she gave birth to 7 adorable puppies. We called them Bull-Whips. Pittbull cross Whippits. I'll post a picture later.
3 months ago...
Just after the puppies were gone we decided to take a trip up to Powell River to see my Gramma. At the time she had just had both legs removed due...had been having a series of strokes & heart failures...and just generally was in rough shape. It was a hard trip, mentally exhausting because there lay the women who had helped to shape who I am. Who had played a huge part in raising me, who had been there through everything, and now she was dying. It killed me to be there... it killed me to see her that way. She would never had wanted that...
2 months ago...
My mother called me in the evening, she told me that Gram was very weak and that the doctors were basically going to be trying to keep her as comfortable as possible until she passed away. They gave us a two week estimate but said that if an infection set in it would probably be a couple of days. The next morning at work Charlie & his brother in law came and got me. He told me that my Gramma had passed away that morning. Over the next few days my mom deligated to me what she needed done for the funeral. Poor Charlie ended up scanning in about 50 photos, and we burnt them onto CD's for everyone, including the music we played at the funeral, oldies & soft rock stuff, my Gramma's favorite songs. We made up the programme's that were handing out, letting everyone know that she had been born...lived...was loved and admired, and then she passed away. Leaving all of us with a terrible gap in our life, that we now have to find some way of trying to fill. I find it so hard not being able to pick up the phone and call her. I can't imagine never hearing her call me "you little black bitch" again...or listening to her mouth off about one thing or another. My Gramma was the kind of women who always had something to say, and she always spoke her mind.
Current month...
We currently are doing much better than the last couple months. I again have a new job, that I am not sure where I am going with it, however I don't hate it :) Foxy has been very good lately. Our cat has become and indoor/outdoor cat and therefore has settled down quite a bit, except now we have to deal with the fact that he brings us home rats & mice, and of course he wants us to be proud of him. My car has been a pain in the ass the month...but Charlies brothers friend Kyle fixed it last night...what a relief...
Anyways, enough of an update for now...
