Anniversary.

 A year ago yesterday, my dog died. 


He was the best thing that ever happened to me. 



And when he was gone, I felt like I was gone too.

I always knew that he'd move on one day. But I wasn't prepared. This is the story. 
I wrote a play for my school, and we'd worked for months to practice for this Wednesday. The energy was everywhere, I was so excited. The play went wonderfully. No mistakes. It was a perfect day. But something was off. My mom didn't smile once. She looked like she was fighting tears. My dad had no expression. I think he felt numb. After the play we sang a christian song called Shoulders. These are the lyrics. 

Lyrics
I look up to the mountainsDoes my strength come from the mountains?No, my strength comes from GodWho made heaven and earth, and the mountains
When confusion's my companionAnd despair holds me for ransomI will feel no fearI know that You are near
When I'm caught deep in the valleyWith chaos for my companyI'll find my comfort here'Cause I know that You are near
My help comes from YouYou're right here, pulling me throughYou carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokennessAll on Your shouldersYour shoulders
My help comes from YouYou are my rest, my rescueI don't have to see to believe thatYou're lifting me up on Your shouldersYour shoulders
You mend what once was shatteredAnd You turn my tears to laughterYour forgiveness is my fortressOh, Your mercy is relentless
My help comes from YouYou're right here, pulling me throughYou carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokennessAll on Your shouldersYour shoulders
My help comes from YouYou are my rest, my rescueI don't have to see to believe thatYou're lifting me up on Your shouldersYour shoulders
My help is from YouDon't have to see it to believe itMy help is from YouDon't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true
My help is from YouDon't have to see it to believe itMy help is from YouDon't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true
My help comes from YouYou're right here, pulling me throughYou carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokennessAll on Your shouldersYour shoulders
My help comes from YouYou are my rest, my rescueI don't have to see to believe thatYou're lifting me up on Your shouldersYour shoulders
My help is from YouDon't have to see it to believe itMy help is from YouDon't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true
My help is from YouDon't have to see it to believe itMy help is from YouDon't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true
My help is from YouDon't have to see it to believe itMy help is from YouDon't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true
My help is from YouDon't have to see it to believe itMy help is from YouDon't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true



It's a beautiful song. And it means so much more to me now, because that song helped me get through the loss of my closest friend. And now I can look back at him and know that him dying gave me my new dog, Remi. And if any of you have lost someone or something special to you, just remember this. 

They will always be with you. 

You can talk to them. 

And they are always going to have a special place in your heart. Don't be afraid to love a different dog or person. You'll love them in a different way. You'll never love anyone the same way you love them. You might love them just as much, but not the same way. 

I love you Rubes. 

Bye!

TENNESSEEE WHOS WITH ME

 I know it's been ages. But I'm a teenage girl and things slip my mind. Writing a blog as one of them. It's okay though. I'm not the ONLY blogger who forgets to write. *hem hem* Leona.  Speaking of Leona. I've mentioned her a lot so if you don't know who she is by now, well, sorry for you. Because she's my best friend. EVER. And you can't have her. 😝  Anyways, we met when we were 7 or 8. They moved like 5 years ago. To Tennessee. Yes I was furious. Don't ever let your bestie move away from your state or you will have MAJOR problems. (If you can't tell one of my major problems is that I absolutely ADORE capital letters.) So on Saturday, my siblings and I are going all the way to their house, driving. Am I excited? For seeing her, yes. For the drive, no. Because I have a twin and a 9 year old sister with ADHD on the drive with me. My twin gets carsick (vomiting) with a 40 minute drive so that will be fun. We're staying there for two weeks with

My Book

I'm an author, and yes, I have many books in the making. ☺I shall explain the one I started today though, and with careful thought and precision designed. Ha, who am I kidding? I just go along with whatever I want. But seriously, the idea came to me when I was eight, and it was called Rariel. I know now that is a um... strange name but when I was eight I thought it creative. It was about a girl who was half Ariel and Rapunzel. I'm re-writing it to be better, except it's now called Project Basil. See? Isn't it amazing? I think it is. The book is in the working, and I'm so close to finishing.... Chapter one. Geez, I know it's depressing but I started it today people, gimme some credit! Plus I have the prologue.  I'll give you a 1rst draft sneak peak, though. :) SNEAK PEAK!!!  All that people would talk about before I was born was the almighty Fairy Tale characters. You’ve heard of them, Rapunzel, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty. Yah. Ya get the jist. Anyhow, that was a
