I'm so in shock, and mortified that Gracie is gone and I didn't even know until now--almost a year later. And, I didn't know enough about her to even call the cops--wouldn't have known where to tell them to go. It makes me want to demand first and last names, and home/work/cell numbers, SSNs, a list of names and numbers of family members, and home/work addresses from all those I love here. Then nobody could simply disappear. Or at least I could call/write and nag them about "where are you?!"
I don't have a particular post to put here. I am still so sad, typing through tears, damning the fact that she and I did not get to say more clearly how much we meant to each other, always assuming she would be here. I guess that is the last thing I learned from her--say it now.
To the strong and loving person she was, so very much alive in my heart--goodbye for now. I hope you and your brother are enjoying a glass of red wine, with nothing but peace and joy in your hearts and minds, no more dark nights of the soul. If you see my Scruffles there, she'll make you a good friend, and provide copious amounts of love and comfort anytime you need it.
xoxo
