I have not really done any stitching for weeks now, which is not really strange as Darwin has been really ill. Unfortunately we had to put him to sleep, which we did on Wednesday, 28th February. He died at 3.30pm, and we are devastated.
It will be sad to start the New Year without our podgy baby, but as he got so very sick so very quickly, there was nothing we could have done sooner or differently. It was his time, and we have to think that he has gone to a better place.
Hubby is doing dinner at the moment, and he came in to me crying as he was chopping meat and that would normally bring Darwin to his feet begging for treats. I have sat sometimes and suddenly just started crying...it is really difficult. We are fortunate that we have baby Pearl and Tara to comfort us. At the moment I have Pearl on my right cuddling...she is adamant to have me stroke her neck, so she looks at me or pushes my hand to make sure she gets her way...Tara is lying beneath the sofa, having finally given up on trying to get me to continue playing with the infrared spot light...she LOVES chasing the red spot...lol
Me and hubby have spent the last 3 days watching 24 series 8. The biggest problem with 24 is that once we start is that we do not want to stop...last night we stopped at 2am...and only because I refused to start another episode...hubby had already persuaded me to start an extra three episodes after we had agreed to stop and go to bed...lol...we have watched most of the day today, and after dinner we are likely to finish the last three episodes...
I was planning on doing my organizing of craft stuff today, but that will have to wait until tomorrow or next week when hubby starts working again...he has a way of changing my plans for the days that he is at home:)
I am hoping to have a list of the ornaments I am going to work on for the year, as well as any other projects I am hoping to work on or even finish...who knows...lol
Leaving you with two pics from one of the few times I managed to get all three babies on the bed together...normally Pearls runs away as she does not like Tara...and see how miserable Tara looks...she is worried Pearl is gonna attack her...and Darwin just slept...not much bothered him:)

Ylva, so sorry to hear about your loss. I am so glad that you and your DH have each other and the other fur-babis in your life. It is always easier to share sorrow. Was this loss recent? You wrote that he was put to sleep on Feb 28th, but i assume that you meant Dec 28th?
ReplyDeleteI am wishing a wonderful 2012 for you and your family! Take care and Happy Stitching once you get back to the groove.
Yes, it was December 28th. I must have been sidetracked when typing...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sympathy. I am having an "easier" time than hubby. He asked me the other day how long it will take before his heart will stop hurting. It is hard watching him cry so hard when he sees a picture or think of Darwin. I know it will get better, but he has never had to go through this before so it is really hard for him.
