Mommy Musings

I'm warning you know that all of my posts, for at least this week, are going to be about my boy Braddock.  I need to work through all these feelings I have, and write down all my memories of him while they are still fresh.  It's for me, it's what I need to do.  And today, as the pain is still so bad it physically hurts, all I can handle is pictures.  It was too short a life he had, but definitely a great one.  I miss you buddy. 

It is with a very heavy heart that I post this today.  My poor Mr. B passed away at the vet this morning.  He was too weak and there was too much damage done to his intestines.  I always had dogs growing up, but was never really a big dog person till Braddock came around.  He was so cute and cuddly, you couldn't help but love him.  We got him when he was only a few weeks old, and it was love at first sight.  We named him Braddock after the great boxer from North Bergen, NJ, James J Braddock. In his four short years with us, Braddock touched so many hearts.  He will be missed by all. This hurts so much worse than I ever thought it would.  I wish we could have done more and I am heartbroken that I wasn't with him this past weekend.  I don't think I'll ever own another dog again. I will never stop feeling guilty that he died because of a pacifier...something we could have so easily prevented. Braddock....Mr. B....May 26, 2008-June 30, 2012....yo...

Seven years ago today I said "I Do" to spending the rest of my life with Skip.  I had n idea where our journey would take us, but as I look back on the past almost-decade, I wouldn't change a thing.  Having Skip as my husband, right beside me, is the only thing I need.  I luff you three times and always will Skipper. Take a little trip down memory lane with me here with a total photo overload of our seven years of marriage.  I intertwined them with these lyrics, because every time I hear this song I think of Skip <3 "Tangled" by Staind" You're my world The shelter from the rain You're the pills That take away my pain You're the light That helps me find my way You're the words When I have nothing to say And in this world Where nothing else is true Here I am Still tangled up in you I'm still tangled up in you Still tangled up in you You're the fire That warms me when I'm cold You're the hand I have to hold as I grow old You...
