Hi everyone. Well good news, my wife's dog Diamond is still with us putting up a very good fight. Diamond is on pain killers to start with and an anti-inflamatory med. My wife is just beside herself, she is not dealing with this that well. Diamond is like her baby girl and she has been my wife's rock and always is there for her. This dog is so connected to my wife that she will come from anywhere in the house when my wife shows any signs of distress and just go up to her and just start licking her crazily. I started thinking about life after she is gone and I am very sad too, I did not think I was also so connected to Diamond. I am going to miss how the dog would come to me when I would sit down to eat and she would put her paws on the side of my rocking chair and just stare at me. If I did not pay her attention she would then take one paw and tap me several times until I would look at her. Then she would give me those sweet puppy dog eyes, I would fold so quickly, lol and give her some of my dinner. I am going to miss how she would just know when my wife would need a loving lick and help her. I needed that back up to help my wife cope with her health issues. Diamond is a intrical part of how I take care of my wife. Diamond is showing signs of being out of it. She will just all of a sudden stare into no where and when we look into her eyes when she does this , it is like she is gone already. There is just nothingness behind them, I am tearing up just talking about this. My wife is sleeping right now and so is Diamond. I sometimes just watch them both sleep and think to myself just how blessed I truly am with them both in my life. Reality for me is that my wife's best friend is going to die soon and that is going to take her to a very dark place and I need to be very strong spiritually and mentally to be able to help her through this. That is why I am writing and talking about this to everyone today, this is how I help myself through it . Talking about this lets me emotionally get stronger for the upcoming strength I will need, so thank you to everyone who reads this. I am a fighter, my wife is a fighter and our dog is a fighter. When you have love and a partner that has your back no matter what , you can do and accomplish anything you want. And your life will have meaning and purpose. So to everyone out there, you too have someone that is just right for you and one day you will meet them and know exactly what I am talking about. By the way, Big Eyes still sitting low at .000006. So now I think I am going to go and clean the house, I like to clean and do laundry when I am upset. So thank you all and say a prayer for my wife and her dog. May life bring her a smile, laughter and love.
still here and fighting
