whats going on in my life ..Carrie Attwood , SleepingElf ..the things I make and sell .Hobbies ..stuff I love
1 year this month
its been a year ago this month Pete was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer ,
sometimes I feel I was trapped in a very very bad dream
Im makeing a new life ,new friends
and a couple special very old friends have come back into my life and changed it totally
Im coping ...and looking into the future with a lot less fear ...I miss him terribly ...but I know he is smileing at me and I know he is proud of how Im copeing

catching up with e.mails and few late orders today ...back on track by tommorow xx

what a difference a week can make
the back orders should be all out by next week ..and new orders July
I have reduced some of the dolls right now on Etsy
and I have some new bears for sale and Im selling off some of my own collection
I have got used to Pete not being with me now ...I lost him a long time ago ..when he became so ill ..and have got used to being on my own
but I will never get over how he died ...ever
that I will have to live with ..but I have no regrets ..everything was said that should have been said, and I did everything within my power to keep him well
now I will keep my last promise to him ...to live ...never forget him ..but I have to live ..and love ..and be happy ..and he made me promise
he didnt want me to be a wailing widow ...he wanted me to be.. me ...Im trying
They say everything happens for a reason ...be dammed if I can see why I lost Pete .. ...I dont believe in God ..but I do believe in Karma and the human spirit .. and Fate , Destiny and Lady Luck ..and they are leading me by the hand ..and I will follow
1 step forward ...2 steps back
Paperwork and even more paperwork ...wondering when I will feel anything like normal ..and not drowning all the time :(
I cant remember feeling anything other than sick to my stomach ....
bad week ..June started out bad
A Great Relationship Happens When Two People Who Truly Understand Each Other and Love Each Other for Who They Are Come Together and Create Something Stronger Than Either of Them Could Ever Be on Their Own
and that summed us up
Im so grateful for what I had ...he made me a better person ..and gave me the strength to do what I have to do
the bag of wig orders that were supposed to be posted before Pete took ill have been posted ...Etsy sales that were to be posted are going now
slowly things are creeping back to normality
Pete love of my life passed away 25th April 2011
mornings are worse
I have to face the day knowing he isnt going to be there ,
I made him a promise ..I get dressed throw on my make up and face the day without him
Im as brave as I can be ..and thats what he wanted ..but
God I miss him
