In July we said good bye to our sweet and loyal pup, Charlie. Charlie was with us for 13 years. Matt and I got him when we moved in together right after we got engaged to be married. He traveled all over with us and did two cross country moves, one out to California and one back to Virginia. He was with us through the birth of both our children and so much more. He represented a major chapter in mine and my husbands lives and him dying marked the end of that time.
Since then I not only have been grieving the loss of charlie, but i’ve been grieving the end of the beginning. 2019 marks a truly new beginning for myself. Charlie left a giant gapping hole in our family, however it also created space, space i didn’t know i needed until I got it. By using this space that I now have by exploring my genius, I feel I am honoring Charlie. He understood this for me, in a way I couldn’t myself. He gave me the gift of spaciousness when he said goodbye and while I still miss him everyday, I know all is perfect and exactly as it needs to be.
So in honor of Charles Brown Pussy Feather the 3rd Esquire,
Here’s to re-discovering my friend Genius!
