2017, I had to say goodbye to Sadie. I was so close to her, she had congestive heart failure, and I had to let her go. I had to go by myself to have her cross Rainbow Bridge. Our daughter was at work, and our son was out of town. This should have been one of the early signs of what was to come. Sadie and Lucy both kept me going after Troy passed. I didn’t know what I was going to do without Sadie. I still miss her just as much today as I did when I said goodbye that day. Sometimes when we are going through something tragic, we don’t always see things as they really are, unfortunately. As I look back at different events since Troy passed, I see the sometimes subtle signs that should have been a clue to me….We sometimes don’t see people as they truly are, but in the end we see them for what they really are….
