This year, 2024 has gotten off to a very rough start. Our precious princess passed away on January 7th after being admitted to the hospital ICU with RSV, pneumonia, and sepsis. It is the most awful time of our lives, saying goodbye and learning to live without her. It is a strange and empty feeling to be without someone who has been at the center of your life every day for just over 3 decades. She was patient, and gentle while also being stubborn. She was a beautiful soul who we don't know how we will go on without in our daily lives. That last night, as snow fell outside the hospital room, we gathered around her lying in the hospital bed as she fought for her life. The next afternoon, as snowflakes lightly drifted down, we gathered around her as she took her final breaths in this life, It was beautiful in the most terrible way.
