This is the most difficult post I have ever written.
After a year and a half of friendship and 10 months of dating, my relationship with Brico has come to an end. My heart aches like you cannot begin to imagine. And as much as I’d like to call him an asshole right now, I can’t. Though I can’t understand why he no longer wants me in his life, I will never have anything but fond memories of him.
As for this blog, its future is uncertain. So much of my blog identity has been my relationship with Brico. And with dog illnesses and the most difficult breakup I’ve ever had to deal with, I’m not sure I have the heart for this anymore.

Words escape me. I’ll be in touch soon…

um… can we clarify that one aspect of our ‘relationship’ is over but NOT the friendship aspect. and you know its not acurate to say that ‘i dont want you in my life’. i have nothing but the fondest memories of ‘us’. and i certainly look forward to us having good times again in time.

Os ~ Thanks for the phone call and the support. Just left you a voicemail…
Brico ~ Thanks for the nice comment. I look forward to good times again as well, but I know that it’s going to be very difficult for me to be “just friends”. I still love you very much.

Tish, sorry to hear the news. Perhaps a break in blogging (for now) could be a good thing. I totally u8nderstand the need to refocus. Whatever the case, do keep in touch.

I’m sorry, Tish. Those words sound empty considering how much you’re hurting right now, but I am truly saddened by your heartbreak.
Your identity is more than a relationship. You are a person whom many people adore, separate from Brico.
Take care.

I can relate to why you might want to quit blogging. Too many memories and everytime you pull it up, it’ll hurt. You will feel the pain. Do what feels best, which I’m sure right now, is not a whole lot.
Feeling your load….

Biscuit ~ Thanks for the nice words.
Flat Coke ~ Thanks for your support. Love ya!

Tish, I’m sorry I’ve been AWOL so much lately. And I’m sorry to come here and see this post. I would hate to see you stop blogging, but you should do what’s best for you. Lord knows I’ve considered stopping more than once myself. I hope things start looking up for you soon!
