And today is a double whammy.
As I noted in Dan's post on Snap, we had to make that decision as well. We said goodbye to Vavushka earlier this morning:
Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.
Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.
Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.
Just as sad is the fact that my wife and I are separating. This weekend I am moving my big furniture. It is as good a separation as can be hoped for.
As difficult as both these decisions were, they are for the best. Vavushka is in a better place and I am restarting on a new page in my life.
But as sad as these events are, I have a lot of highs as well. Doing exceptionally well in school, elected president of the SGA, meeting wonderful people and enjoying what I am doing tremendously.
