Goodness it's such an emotional day.
Today it's exactly one year ago, that I saw my dad for the last time. It was the day he was picked up by the RV and brought to the hospital. Because of covid we weren't allowed to visit him. And in four days it's one year since he passed away. Technically that's the last day I saw him, but I don't like to count it like that. Today, a year ago, he hugged me the last time.
I miss him so much. It's unbelievable that it's already a year ago that I talked to him, that I just still had him as my dad in my life.
The last year was incredibly hard.
After my dad Kate's grandma, who was just like my grandma for me, too, and Kate's mum, who i also considered my second mum, both passed away within 5 months.
We buried 3 people who were so important to us. And in October we had to let our Lucky go as well. In the meantime also some of our pet mice passed and in December one of our rats. With little rodents it hurts terribly, too. But their lives are so short, it's a different kind of being prepared for that. Although I miss every single one of them.
So today, is kind of the anniversary of when that horrible year began in 22.
But instead of going the same route this year, today we got a call from a shelter because of a pup that we want to adopt. It was an amazing conversation, the Lady was absolutely lovely and now will send us someone to visit us and see, if everything is as we said and alright for a dog.
I'm not worried about that, after all a dog lived here already. But we sent the Email last week, the Lady apologised a bunch of times because usually they call the next day after receiving the mail. Instead, of all the other days it could have been, the call came today.
It made me absolutely emotional, I've been crying for all the mixed up reasons every now and then today. I'm sad, I miss my dad and all the others. But we're very likely getting a big pupper soon and that is so exciting. The only explanation I have, is that our loved ones up there are pushing all the buttons so things finally get better for us again.
Life is chaotic, but sometimes the best things start on the worst days, I guess.
