Don't go into shock, I'm trying again to write.
You can go back over my earlier posts and know that I had a very rough time the past 12 months.
Add to what is there, my lovely Aunt Letha passed away. At 95 it wasn't unexpected but I will miss her, she was special
Then the 29th of April it became apparent that it was time to let Quinn cross the rainbow bridge. I realized that I was breaking my rule-to not do anything that was for me just the things for her. She quit eating. I gave myself 24 hours to be sure of what I was planning to do, that turned into 48 as her Vet was off. She had never seen any other vet and I didn't want that to change. She let me carry her into the vets office and she hated being carried. Anyway, by the time it was over I was bawling, the Vet tech was crying and I think the vet was trying not to. Quinn was a very special dog.
Even though I didn't want to lose her it left me free for a long wander. I needed a long time away from home. The events of the past year had left me with no space in my brain, stressed and incredibly exhausted.
We were holding a memorial for my brother in Estes Park Colorado-his favorite place- on May 17th so I left home on the 13th for Denver. Before that I was a very busy trying to get the house and yard ready for me to be gone-I never again want to come home to a bed without sheets like I did from Australia! I weeded and mulched gardens, planted the big pots for the front, laid out the soaker hoses, and attempted to set the timers for watering. I was busy, very busy. I also had to gather up the things my oldest wanted from my brothers estate and load them into the truck. Not to mention packing my stuff which included projects for rainy nights. My pickup/ute was very full.
The memorial was nice only 4 of us which was what we planned, afterward we ate together the three of them returned to Estes. I drove into Rocky Mountain National Park, just to feel the Peace of the mountains Then I checked into a hotel for three days.
And so the Prequel ends.
