I was trying to get dressed to start the day. I stood in front of the bed, and something inside of me broke. I lay down with my face in my pillow and started sobbing, full out loud wails of missing Mom. After a few minutes, Bill came in quietly and lay down next to me, putting an arm around me, and putting his head next to mine. We sat like that for a minute.
"It's all right," I told Bill. "It's perfectly natural. It's good to let things out instead of holding them in." I sniffed.
"I know, Mom," he said. "But I thought I heard a dog in pain, so I was coming to check it out."
"A dog WAS in pain," I answered. He laughed. Poor little puppy daughter.

Bill is amazing, he made you smile in the middle of sobbing (and that is not an easy thing to do!) I'm glad you have such a great support system at home.
I send love to you Susie.
Hi Karen - actually, I think he was serious, which is even MORE precious! Thank you for your love - Susie
