Bittersweet. Times 3.

April 11th 2012.
Aka - the hardest day of my life.
My sweet dog Robbie was put down. His 13 years of life were quite joyous and I'm not just saying this for the sake of noise...he was THE best dog a family could have. It was VERY VERY VERY hard for my family to wrap our heads around the fact that our cute, awesome dog was going to die. And on the 11th, I cried harder than I ever had.
Ever since his death, I literally feel something missing. And it's not only an emotional feeling, it is very physical too. Coming home and seeing him gone, it's hard. Very hard.
What do I know? Even though he was a dog, I will see him again. I'm 100% sure of it. That is one of the infinite glorious parts of the Gospel! And it was time for him to go, he was in so so so much pain. I know that he is comfortable now and he is able to run without ANY pain.
I am also VERY thankful for the friends who came and comforted me when they knew how hard this was for me. I am also thankful for those who secretly left small comfort notes on my doorstep, they were given at perfect times!
