I’ve been dreading today.
Instead of him turning 10, he’s been gone 7 weeks
We had a hotel booked in Liverpool to take him to find a blonde Scouse Ma for his birthday
We even found a pooch friendly Michelin star restaurant
Instead it’s been the most brutal couple of months
Those close to me know it’s not just been losing Herc
There’s been so much more
Such a cliche but I’ve seen who’s really there for me and Kdawggg
I’m still at that point in grief where I don’t wanna talk about the rainbow after the storm, because all I want is my little boy
I’m not into “signs”
I have no faith & I’m not particularly spiritual but last week I went into my room to see a little rainbow shining over my Frenchie PJ’s
I don’t know what it means or if it means anything
I’ve not coped well the last few months
I’ve drank, I’ve burnt through money, I’ve done everything possible to numb myself for even 5 minutes. My body has shut down in ways I’ve never experienced, I’ve had convulsions, not been able to keep food down, had to go to hospital.
People will mutter “he was just a dog”
What are you hoping to achieve with that sentence?
Do you think it’s going to magically take all the grief away?
What the last 7 weeks have shown me is that as well as being our baby, he was a little ray of sunshine in so many other people’s lives ☀️
I bumped into a client I’ve not seen since before Covid - the first thing she did was give me the biggest hug 🥺
Herc got the very best right until the end.
I did everything possible for him & now I need to put that same energy into getting me and my best mate (on 2 legs) out of this hole
“I can be changed by what’s happened to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it”

Birthday number 3️⃣ came with a big change, but that didn’t mean no steak 🤣

He loved a codfather sausage but my god we needed gas masks after 🤣 5️⃣
