Today would have been…

…Dymond’s 10th birthday!!! Happy Birthday my sweet sweet baby girl!!! May you forever know that your resilient demeanor and loving spirit uplifted my very being. Now I am comforted in knowing you are safe and eating plenty of apples and cheese with the Heavenly Father!!!

Instead of sitting around today I decided this day should be joyous and happy! So my Mom, Grandmother and I went to Knott’s Berry Farm. We rode roller coasters, watched shows, ate candy, chili dogs and cheeseburgers. It was an amazing way to pay tribute to my baby and a great way to reflect on the importance of family!

If you are reading this please know you hold a special place in my heart because of your love, wonderful sentiments and many prayers.

With love and hugs,

Katrina and Angel Dymond

Dymond’s Home

Two weeks to the day of her gaining her wings, she is finally home. Her pawprints will forever be in my heart and I miss her immensely.

I purchased this beautiful urn from perfectmemorials.com. It spins 360 degrees and has five slots to insert pictures of my furry baby. The top comes off and I put her remains, her paw print and her hair clippings inside. I also bought a pendant and put some of her ashes in it, now I can always  have her close to my heart.

Dymond, I’ll love you forever and always!!!!

Two weeks…

WOW!!!! It has been two weeks since my Dymond gained her wings. These two weeks have been the hardest this far in my life. The whirlwind of emotions are virtually indescribable, there will forever be a void in my heart. I know God is with me through this extremely difficult time and that brings me great joy and comfort. I have been focusing a lot on the wonderful moments (which was everyday) with my girl. Amongst the positive things, I have been working hard on my business (which has been two years in the making), where I create handmade pet keepsakes and home décor.

It has been amazing to be embraced by so many wonderful people, thank God for you guys, for reminding me that it is okay to cry, to be sad, to be happy, to smile, to remember, to love and to live. I will forever be in debt to this site and to the selfless people who have restored my belief in the human spirit.

 

Not getting easier

Each day gets a little harder, not easier. Today I was reminded of the reason why I used to get up a little earlier every morning. I knew I needed extra time to care for Dymond, but now I get up and I have too much time to get myself ready. UGH…who said this gets easier?!? Every task and every morning I wake up just reminds me that her presence is so deeply missed. (((sigh))) Dymond you will always be my inspiration.
