I finished the back of my sweater last night. Are you excited? I knew you would be. Naturally, I immediately started the two fronts.

I know, the excitement is nearly unbearable. I hope you were sitting down?

Sadly, I have very little else to talk about. Isn’t that terrible? (Not to mention a surprise.) You know, go to work, come home. Go to work, come home. Go to work. Come home. The usual.

Although.

Today is the 9th anniversary of my losing Katy. This always makes me rather sad. I can’t believe it’s been nine years. I wouldn’t give up Chappy for anything, but still regret losing her, especially so young.

Accordingly, I’ve been sort of sad today, and Chappy has had to endure extra hugs.

I wore my “dog tag” necklace today. These are charms from C.B. Stark on Martha’s Vineyard, one for Katama, one for Chappy. Together on a chain, they remind me of dog tags. And, of course, they ARE my “dog” tags.

Sigh.

I still miss her.

Excuse me, while I go give Chappy a hug.

    We loved her and miss her too. She was a special little girl and brought a lot of happiness to us for the too short time she was here.
    LOOK at her eyes, they’re mesmerizing and so beautiful.
    Now I’m going to go give Chappy a hug :)

    i am so sorry you feel so sad today Deb. It is never ever easy to lose a family member ever. Even after they’ve been gone it never really eases the heart does it? Take heart tho, you have great family around you and chappy to hug when you do feel sad, you are so very lucky.
