Grieving the death of my beloved Wolf is for me equally hard as grieving the death of our embrioes (of our children who did not have in their destiny to be born).
What was the best therapy for getting a happy life back, after failed IVFs? Travelling. And beloved Wolf.
What will be the best therapy for us now? Travelling. *
Can't wait for September 2014, for few weeks of travelling around the USA. Can't wait to meet our friends again. Can't wait to visit Lake Tahoe for the first time. Can't wait to visit Yosemite national park for the first time. Can't wait to walk the other half of the Golden Gate. And if I get full 4 weeks off work - can't wait to see New York again. Can't wait to own Amtrak railpass again.
* PS: we will have a new puppy in our life again. Hopefully in spring 2015. I would just love to have one great holiday without having to worry about anybody. Lots of people advised to get a new puppy immediately. But we both feel that beloved Wolf deserves not to be replaced immediately.
I live so close to Yosemite! You might have to come see me too :)
ReplyDeletethat would be lovely :)
DeleteYosemite it absolutely breathtaking. We are still wanting to go back; we were just in Sequoia/Kings National Parks that are a few hours south of Yosemite...also beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI often think about that our puppy dog Andra and Mr. Rowan won't live to be as old as us and how I will one day deal with their passing. They mean the world to me. While so many think they are just dogs - for me they are the beautiful creatures in my life that help me through infertility day after day...I couldn't do it without them.
dear KT, I loved your sentence:
Deletefor me they are the beautiful creatures in my life that help me through infertility day after day...I couldn't do it without them.
So true! I do not know how I would survive the darkest days of my infertility without my darling Wolf.
The first days after his death were just horrible. I could think just about his ilness, his last days, saying goodbye to him. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing that I had to do in entire life.
But now, 10 days after his death, I am able to talk with DH about all the happy moments we had with him. And there are like trillion beautiful things I love to remember...
Your travel plans are very exciting!! This is an area of the US we'd love to see (but we chose Italy and Slovenia instead)! Having plans, even a year out, is always great motivation for me. I'm glad you have something wonderful to look forward to.
ReplyDeletedear Mali,
DeleteI am very glad that you had chosen Italy & Slovenia instead. It was lovely to meet you! I just wish we had more then just couple of hours together.
love,
Looking forward to sharing the hospitality. You've always been gracious hosts!
ReplyDeleteI am also looking forward that one day we will have a house with guest bedroom. And - I am looking forward that the bottle of Clicquot Brut will be opened together.
DeleteSomething to look forward to! :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteOHHHHH What wonderful travel plans! Enjoy planning! :-D
ReplyDeleteI recommend New Orleans, with its history, passion, food, quirks. There is always something for someone, from a swamp boat ride, to bike ride at side of Mississippi River, from eating beignets at 2 am to dancing on the street.
ReplyDeleteWill be there next week, staying at an historical side gallery house, in the French Quarter, for a week :)
