October 16th came and went. This week was super busy, and I was a bit under the weather- but I still was thinking of watcher, as I do often. I posted a little bit on fb, and then wanted to capture a picture of his urn, and the awesome pic my friend Jen got of him and i just a few months before he passed. mister harley has always been drawn to his urn. I often found him sitting next to watcher’s urn on the book case, or laying the same exact way in the same place watcher would. I have posted pics of it before on here- it just touches me a certain way. I know watcher is still around- making sure i’m ok :) ok.. enough crazy talk… just wanted to share a few pics, and the link to the post i did remembering watcher
part of me feels like i wrote this post already… then i realize i am just remembering last years. Then as i go through photos in iphoto… looking for one for this post, it really hits home how long watcher has been gone, and how much i have expierenced and how much has changed.
you see.. there was a time when everything that happened in my life he was there. I got in a fight with my parents, he was there…. i was going to “run away from home” he was bundled up in my jacket with me… trekking through the woods…. camping during the summers, he was there on a kitty harness…. i first good cry over a boy… yep he was there… each and every semester i came home from college… he anxiously awaited my return… all the places i had moved… all the major relationships i had been in… you guessed it, he had to step aside and “share” me…..
so it is still foreign to think of all the things i have experienced without him…. this year a lone has been a BIG year of changes…..
i just hope he realizes how much i miss him, and the friendship we had :) xoxo
it’s been a little over 3 months since watcher passed…..
i still think of him everyday, and STILL miss him everyday…..
holly, one of the customers, and {creative chick}’s at the store is also a potter…. i knew right away i wanted to ask her to make an urn for watcher….. i gave her a few simple ideas, and trusted her to create something….
i love what she made, it’s so special ;)
jen prestage, an old friend came to visit in august… she took some pics of me, for her portfolio…. well watcher wanted “in” on the picture taking….. i love this picture she captured…. she framed it in a beautiful frame, fit for the island :) funny thing is i framed the same pic for my dad for christmas……
it’s comforting knowing he will always be with me… in my heart and in his resting place ;)
everyone keeps asking me when i’m going to get another kitty….
i just don’t think i’m ready yet….. i still get upset when talking about watcher, and i’m just not ready to fill his void…..
my life is also too crazy busy to bring a new kitty into the mix just yet…..
this weekend my girls are coming from NH….some much needed girlie time… there will be crafting, drinking, giggling, snacking, and sharing…. I CANT WAIT!!! :)
josie and i will also be getting watchers paw print tattooed on our foot…. a lil nervous about how much its going to hurt, but excited to have it done !!! ( i have 2 more tats after this in mind….we’ll see!!!)
busy week ahead ;) i’ll be at the paper tree 2morrow and then ink about it wednesday and thursday!! Hope to see you there!!
