It's Just the Best Thing

You know the cutest thing? lil m has been talking about how she no longer wants to be a nurse like grammie but she wants to be a vet so she can cure the cancer in pets ! She rocks! She has been telling everyone this! It has been a constant thing since Cain passed away.

I just had to share that. I am sure, her being only 7 she will change her mind a million times about what she wants to do in life but for her to understand and comprehend what a vet does to help animals makes me so proud of her. I bought her a couple of kids vet books to let her know I will support her and she can do anything she sets her mind to.
BARBIE I CAN BE... Pet Vet - Shop.Mattel.com
For Christmas I think the Barbie we get her will be the "I can be a.." series doll in the vet. I recently found the "I can be..." a track star at Goodwill brand new in box for $8. Its tucked away nicely. I don't really buy her a lot of Barbie dolls because she has so many. But I will get her 1 or 2 and then buy clothes and accessories for the ones she already has. I tend to stick more to fairy stuff and play kitchen stuff since she has the basement turned into a restaurant. Last year we got her the "I can be..." Baker Barbie. So cute. I try to make sure Barbie has some sort of significance.

    I love the vet set. I think it will be a great idea. Who cares if she changes her mind. It gives her something to think about for now.

    I know she will change her mind a million times before she gets into college. I am just excited to hear her say something so special about Cain. I guess I did not realize that he had impacted her life so greatly. I forget I was not the only one in his life even though I have had him since he was a baby.

Cain: One Year Ago Today

Image
RIP Cain  November 4, 2003  to Febuary 7, 2012 It was one year ago today I had to say goodbye to my beloved Cain . I remember the day like it was yesterday. I have yet to bury Cains ashes in the cemetery with  my grandparents. I'm just not ready to let go. I just want to keep him with me. So, I am going to spend some time today looking at pet urns and perhaps changing him from his tin box to a nice wooden one with some engraving.  I've also decided to buy a bamboo plant in his honor and plan to do that when he gets home tonight. I don't have to worry about the weather and I don't have to worry about it dying. It will live on forever, just like Cain's memory.

lil m has the sadz for Cain

Image
lil m visits every weekend. mom, dad and lil m were all playing this Lego things and they never let me play! but during the play time lil m found an old red "baby" that Cain had for a very long time. silly Cain chewed the arm right off that baby. i always laughed when Cain played with that baby. big tough Cain with this still red squeaky baby. i think mom got a little sad too. lil m went away for a minute and came back out with this drawing she made. she asked mom if she could bury it with Cain and that we should bury his baby with him too. mom said it was fine with her. lil m smiled and then went back to her room. mom went to see why she had not come out some time later and i followed. lil m had a red wet face. mom told dad that she was very upset about Cain, to take me outside to potty and that she would take care of lil m.

I'm Sorry!!! Pet Update

I am sorry I have not been very good about updating this website. Cains memory lives on very strong in my life and there are times when missing him completely controls me. He was my "baby," my "son" and he was so important in my life for so many reasons. We had some friends over a few weekends back and their daughter said "I thought you had two dogs?" and lil m replied with "Oh, we did. He died. The cancer got him." And then she went over to the toy box and picked up his favorite monkey and started to talk about how sad she was. Not wanting our company to feel awkward, at least not the daughter, I came to the rescue with my chatter about how he is playing in Gods yard, cancer free. Casey has some good days and some bad days. This past week she has been extremely mopey. She'll go outside and just lay where Cain used to lay. Just wants to lay there and do nothing. Over the weekend she was at my moms while Big M and I were out of town. My mo
