Happy 4th of July! We are glad you are here to share your story. Please leave the link to your blog post in the comments and be sure to read and comment on three other blog posts. Comments keep our writing community connected.
This is my first attempt at blogging and I’m not sure if this qualifies as a SLO but it captures my thoughts on the realization that my children have left the nest.
This afternoon I lost my only “child”. Clark was a big white Great Pyrenees. July 25th marks his 1 year anniversary with my husband and I. Our pup has been with us for almost our whole marriage and I have not lived in my current home without him. I am haunted by his death and I needed to get it out. This “prose” is my attempt to get it all out and start to heal.
So many sources of gratefulness on this 4th of July as I love the patriotism of my red, white and blue holidays. Today I’m also celebrating the beginning of #cyberPD . . .
It’s late, but done.
