Before Rosie passed away on Friday, my family and friends had been planning a surprise party for me all week. Being caught up in my sadness over Rosie's passing I didn't suspect a thing. It took a lot for me to head over to my parent's house to celebrate Father's day. Friday and Saturday were filled with random moments of crying incredibly hard in numerous settings (like when I cried in the dog isle at Target or at our table at Red Robin).
Having my friends and family come together for my graduation and in a time when I needed the support of these very people, well it meant the world to me. It just shows you that when life shoves you down, so far down you can't imagine ever getting up again, there are moments left that will shoot you just as far in the opposite direction, there are people that are there to soften the blow of pain you don't think will go away (and that includes all of your kind words). Life is just so fascinating in that way. And while I miss my Rosie like crazy, it feels so good to get a taste of the moments and people that make my life one that I love.
