Holy Cow man.. I am so sorry that life is tossing obstacles all over your path lately. This really pulled at my heart strings, primarily because I just lost my best friend and companion Pepper (my pup). I am over emotional these days.
It REALLY SUCKS when you realize that there is so much dealt with, day in and day out, that is out of our control. I picked up on that in this passage you wrote ...
I'm feeling a bit useless at the moment although and am very concerned for Faith. I feel kind of angry mostly because she deserves better than this; Only the other day I wrote on hive about how grumpy I was and whilst probably justifiable, it's not productive.
I tend to get this way.. grumpy, angry, useless.. and your right that it is justifiable. The "not productive" part is tough. How do you get motivated when life seems to be pushing you down? How do you keep strong and a smile on your face when you can see the concern and worry in your wife's face?
I think you nailed it on the head when you said that you and Faith opened a line of communication and are committed to being a tight unit. Sounds like you both will not have any trouble supporting and strengthening one another through the ups and downs and while tending to these terrible battles.
I wish you the best with it all and you both will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope there's a silver lining on the other side of these times. Hang in there!
It's been a pretty sucky year for sure. In July I lost my cat Merlin who was my best friend for 22 years...4 days later my dad passed away. Now this...And that's not even to mention holiday cancellations, pay reductions and all the stuff around corona-chan...Yep, I'm done with 2020.
Faith and I have been together for 33 years and have been through a lot, but we do it together and support each other as required. It's the only way. You hit the nail on the head with the keep strong and a smile on my face comment as every time I see Faith my heart breaks and I want to hit something. I quell it though, as best I can, and turn my energy towards something more productive, or at the very least, something not negative.
I really appreciate your words, taking the time to write them. Many hivers display such quality of personality and it helps. I'm sorry about Pepper, that is so difficult to accept. I was devastated to lose Merlin, it still breaks me down.
