It’s Halloween and it’s week three since she left. I’m still as lost today as I was when I handed her over to be cremated. Yesterday, I tried to explain to someone what she meant to me. I told this friend that Rosie was like the beautiful spun glass creations that enchant you but you can’t have because your clumsy […]

Today marks two weeks since she left and I still can’t believe it. Rosie was so fragile but she threw herself into helping raise Ophelia. Rosie had an overabundance of love to give and she gave it without reservation. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all do the same? I love you sweetheart and miss you always. xxoo

This video is from last year 2012, but it’s worth reposting because I want to address a few things and I think this video helps illustrate the points. Excuse the messy house, it was early in the morning… Many folks thought Rosie couldn’t move or make noises…this video shows that not true. Many folks worried that she may not have […]

It’s a little chilly tonight and Rosie should be snuggled up in her blankets waiting for me to cuddle her. I miss that face… Another song we listened to a lot is Somewhere in My Heart by Aztec Camera. There is a part that goes: Somewhere in my heart There is a star that shines for you Silver splits the […]

Rosie loved to ride in the car and she loved music. We listened to a lot of the same songs and one of the ones we listened to most is this one: Fly to the Angels by a band named Slaughter. I would try to hit the high notes and Rosie’s ears would quiver and then she’d give me the […]

I haven’t finalized her local memorial because I’m not ready. However, Peg Banks is collecting all the information for her worldwide memorial and we have folks from South Africa, Greece, Argentina, France, Sweden, the UK, huge chunks of the U.S. and Canada wanting to help. I am so deeply touched and know that if she was in my lap, the […]

I posted this photo to my personal facebook page last night and decided I will share it here because it is the real us…I snapped this myself because Eddie texted me (he’s been working in India since the last week of August) that he missed seeing his girls in the morning. I wiped the sleep out of our eyes and […]

February 14, 2010 – October 10, 2013 I’ve been trying to write this for days. Aside from the fact that I am unable to deal with Rosie’s passing there is also the issue that the posts on this page – the stories of Rosie’s life – were written with her in my lap or snuggled next to me. Sometimes I […]

It’s been a week since our Gabriel passed away. Rosie and I have been busy helping Gabriel’s best friend Charity get through this tough time. It’s also been very hot and windy here – not the kind of weather that is good for Rosie (or me) so today we took advantage of the nicer weather and had a little tail […]
