The little box of Holly’s ashes are sitting next to me as I write this. Even though we had a month to prepare after learning about Holly’s lymphoma diagnosis, it’s harder than we ever imagined to have her gone.
We’re both so, so sad. We keep feeling this intense longing to see her. We’re spending a week in a fun town — Athens, GA — but I can’t get motivated to see any of it. Sometimes it hurts to just breathe. I know, how depressing.
In my head, I know we’ll be okay. She sniffed so many places! We gave her a great life! We’re still living the dream! But it just feels all wrong and empty knowing that we’ll continue on and she won’t be with us.
I was going to turn this into a post with advice on how we’re coping, but realized we have no helpful advice to give. None. So instead, we made a tribute to Holly and our favorite memories of her.
Thank you for being our fun, stubborn, and silly best friend, little girl. We hope there are plenty of treats where you are now. And we’ll never, ever forget you.
