Sweet Wolfy..

Hi Blog World,
I'm back! Two weeks shy of 2016 ending... This special post is a dedication to the sweetest wolf baby ever.  As a lot of people know, I met my wifey over a year ago and she's been a huge part of my life every since than. Her 3 babies who happen to be these amazing wolves have come into my life and have filled my heart with so much love. I have never been a dog person, but when I meet dogs, they happen to like me and they end up having special places in my heart.
When I met Cyrus, Max and Wolfy for the first time, I fell in love with them from the beginning.
But Wolfy captured my heart with his sweet soul, cute face and big head of love. I formed a special bond with him and he instantly had my heart.
When wifey told me that Wolfy was sick the beginning of this week, the outpour of thoughts and prayers have been flooding for my wifey every since. I knew for sure he was going to be strong and get back to normal, but when she told me yesterday that he hadn't eaten in 3 days I knew his time was near in going to another life. There was no hesitation and I drove over there last night to reward him with raw chicken and steak hoping that I could sway him to eat, but no success. The last hours I spent with him were memorable, priceless and heart breaking. As I finally decided to leave at 2am this morning, Wolfy gave me that look of "please don't leave me, I need you to stay with me till the end", my heart broke even more and that's when I realize at an instant he truly loved me and was thanking me for all the love and affection in the short months that I knew him.
Today my heart is heavy as wifey is deciding Wolfy's fate and I know that he doesn't want to suffer anymore and just go at peace, but she's not ready to let go... It's heart breaking to think about, but I know that she's strong and will get through this.
Wolfy,  I will love you forever and thank you for letting me love you. I promise that I will continue to love your brothers and your mommy as much as I loved you.. This is not good bye, but see you soon in the most magical place on earth.  I will make sure you are remembered and never forgotten. We love you so much and rest easy sweet boy!!

And just like that.... 5 years of Marriage

Today on this exact day of the week 5 years ago, we got married!!.......What??? It's been already 5 years, it just shows how time really has flown by. Married life has been challenging and rewarding at the same time. We have gone through many life changes, emotions, heartache, stress...you name it but at the end of the day we are still standing and survived the first 5 years of marriage... It's now acceptable to say that growing old with someone without offspring is okay, it just gives us more time to not just focus on each other, but other goals that we want to accomplish in our lifetime. My husband is an exceptional man who continues to love me and others like no other, not only is he a loyal husband, but a loyal friend to everyone that's in his life.  He continues to support me and be my rock whenever I just don't feel like dealing with life and constantly pushes me to get back up and pick up strong..  I can say that I truly lucked out on a man that was more than what I asked for and truly deserved.  There are no words to describe how much love I have for him and what he is done to improve and change my life, my world is better because of his presence every day.  I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds and can't wait to continue riding into the sunset of our journey together. Thank you all for who have sent us sweet messages and wishes, we truly appreciate the constant love and support... We are just soo blessed and hope that you continue to follow us through this life... Cheers to you my amazing husband, thank you for choosing me as your wife and life partner... I will forever be in your debt.

Grief.....

2016 has not started out well in my life...My heart has been sad...On Christmas Eve, our family lost a special person in our lives..My cousin Tony was killed on Christmas Eve, this devasting news did not make my Christmas happy and my heart and mind was with my family in Atlanta as were in Cleveland enjoying the holiday with my hubby's family. Though the trip was filled with lots of good times, we cut our trip short to come home and be with family... We said our good byes on the first Sunday of the New Year. My sweet and caring aunt now has to live without her only son for the rest of her life..She's a strong woman and I know will continue to live on, but our hearts will always be sad as the holidays and family gatherings happening as he will not be present but we will always feel his presence no matter where we go.

This morning, I got some more devasting news from one of my friends who I was close with in college... Our college friend Geoffrey died in a skydiving accident last week when his chute collapsed from 100ft from the ground dying on impact... G which was what I called him moved to Denver a few years after college and lived an adventurous life..He was an expert skydiver and had 500 jumps in one year, but I remember him as being this smartass, hilarious and good guy who was smart and lived life to the fullest.  We kept in touch throughout the years and every year on his birthday I would send him a happy birthday message as our birthdays were one day apart.  He gave me the nickname Jo-Money and we had a love for soccer... He made me laugh every time we hung out and there was never a dull moment.... His passing is still a shock to me and my FSA Crew that I hung out with in college, I'm sad that I lost touch with all of them, but life happened and people moved on... This weekend will be like a reunion but in the saddest way possible..
G! you will be missed, you were taken away too soon!
We will miss your humor, smile and warm heart...Take care my friend and enjoy your new adventure in the heavens above.. Till we meet again!!
