The house I bought with Andy just three years ago. I talked about us putting an offer on it here, the home inspection here, getting approved here, preparing for the closing here and the day we bought it here. It was a huge moment in our lives.
In 23 days I'm going to be leaving my "kids"...
The hardest consequence of Andy's decision to leave was what to
do with our dogs. I still can't stop crying about this. We got Parker the
first year we were dating and when Parker needed a companion, we got Allie. Their faces are all over my blog and my Facebook, I have hundreds of photos of them and our adventures. They're the most amazing dogs in the world. The hard part was when I realized that if I were to take them they’d have to live in an apartment with no yard,
spending their time in a crate whenever I was at work or out… that was just too much. I
couldn’t punish them for choices made beyond their (and my own) control. In the
end I decided to give them to Andy so the pups could have the yard, the house and the
space they’ve grown accustomed to. It breaks my heart... I’m still not sure how I’m
going to do it.
But somehow, I will find a way.
I’ll find a way to leave
behind the house we made our home, the dogs I called my kids and the husband
that I love so deeply…
