Dear Ally June 2019

Dear Ally,

Today I had to practice the art of ignoring ignorance and simply hanging up the phone. If you would have asked me to walk away from something I know I am right about 6 months ago, I would not have been able too. Especially when it comes to my blood relatives. Today, I simply hung up the phone and left them behind again.

My brother was sick for some times but got better within a few months. It turned out he did not have a stroke and they did not locate any cancer or MS. The gooey stuff they found on his brain is a medical mystery. It no longer exists so they cannot test anymore. From the moment he was released from the nursing home, he reverted back to the old brother I had come to know so well. The one who uses and abuses people and his relationships with them. He once again decided to use Grandma and Grandpa. Well, I can't say I feel bad for them because they have been enabling this behaviour his entire adult life, There daughter also pulled a number on them. Someone generous helped them pull ahead but they're still allowing them to do it.

So when I got the call today so my Mother could bitch about what's going on, I decided to simply end the call. I cannot deal with the drama andymore Ally and I refuse too. I said, "I'm sorry you're still enabling them to take advantage of you but I don't see how this involves me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go, Goodbye." I hung up and left it at that.

I thought I would feel bad about hanging up on her like that, but I felt empowered. Like I had just taken back my life and energy they have sucked out of me for so long. I smiled and went back to cooking dinner. If you ask me, more people should simply hang up or walk away. It isn't our fault and we can only do so much. These people have never lifted a finger to help me. They made my life miserable. So I simply cannot spend anymore time worrying about them. Onward and upward, Ally.

I love you to the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Dear Ally,

I was scrolling through Instagram this morning and a page I follow came across my screen as I scrolled named, Charlie-Browns Memories. I have been following the page for quite some time now. Reading her posts about how much she misses Charlie Brown often makes me think of you.

I looked up from my workspace, pulled your framed picture closer, held it with one hand, and used the other hand to wipe my tears that began to stream down my face. Nothing could have been said to stop my tears.

Sometimes, it isn't what people don't say, but what they do say, when you're dealing with a great loss. I know everyone means well, but nevertheless, I welcome the unheard conversations more now than I ever have. I mean, how could I not cry and miss something so beautiful as you.

I miss you Ally, and I love you to the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Dear Ally,

This is my second Christmas without you, although it feels like the first. Last Christmas, you had been gone barely a few months, and I hadn't had time to wrap myself around the Holiday as I have this year. While I knew it was Christmas, it felt more like I had been devastated by the loss of a friend such a short time ago, and I had.

Now, it's been a little over a year, and I've had some time to get into the Christmas spirit, so I want you to know... I love you and I miss you. With every twinkling light, shiny star, Christmas ornament, I miss you more, but I see you and I feel you. I see you in every decorated store, on every decorated porch, and tonight as I walk Osito, I see you in every smiling face.

You absolutely loved Christmas. I'd watch you drift off to sleep as you'd stare endlessly at every single glowing light or decoration. So this Christmas, I'll shed tears, but only for a while, because it's the same smiling joy that came over your face during this time, that I'll hold onto. Always and forever, Ally. To the moon and back.

Love,

Mom

To our followers. If you enjoy reading these letters, please support us on our Patreon network where more letters will be posted in the new year to come as I finally am able to hold onto the good memories and let go of the bad. We receive a lot of grief from trolls here on Facebook, and such more personal Letters to Ally will not be kept here. Your monthly subscription of just $1 helps Osito and I so much more than you know because it gives us a monthly income we can prove in order to find and maintain a home in addition to our store.

Our store doesn't make much yet, and we appreciate your help. We are almost to 100 Patrons. The link will be in our comments section on this post or in our about me on this page because Facebook will hide the post itself from you if we put it here before it has gained traction. Thank you. We love you to the moon and back. Always and forever.

I am thankful.

Dear Ally,

Thanksgiving is 4 days away and I was sitting here thinking about all of the things I have to be thankful for.

I am thankful for you, Ally. I am thankful for the patience you have taught me, and for the loyalty you had shown me all of the years you were alive. I am thankful for the love you gave me that I could see in those brown eyes of yours. I am thankful for the times you would sit next to me, place your head on my thigh, and just stare at me while I rubbed your belly. I am thankful for all the nights you would cuddle up next to me and I would run my hands through your soft red coat. Most of all, I am thankful that you taught me patience, loyalty, and love exists in the most beautiful brown eyes that I have ever seen.

But today I am thankful for Osito. I am thankful he came into my life in an otherwise dark time and pulled me to the light. I am thankful for his lively demeanor, and the way he nonchalantly steals my heart more and more every day. I am thankful he is more than endowed with the trappings of love. Most of all, I am thankful he has rescued me from giving up in a time where the world can feel so gloomy and deranged.

So this Thanksgiving, when we sit around the table, maybe alone with nobody, I will have somebody. I will have Osito. Just like I had you. For that, I am more grateful, than you will ever know.

I love you to the moon and back, Ally & Osito. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

One Year Ally
23215631_880733208770949_4179050932438544775_o.jpg

Dear Ally,

It's been one year tomorrow.

I thought by now I'd be able to write to you and tell you about all the wonderful things I've done in your memory. Truthfully, since I've lost you, I haven't done much, but think about you with every breath I take and every goal I reach for, and not for the better. Not even for the happy. I cry every time.

The only difference I've felt in the last year since your absence is that I have become better at holding back the tears until I'm alone so others don't see how much I have not been able to move on. It's the guilt that binds me to your nonexistence and the pain that holds me here.

I've went through all of the stages, Ally.

Denial.

Your decline came on so suddenly. One month you were fine, the next a little sick, and the next gone. You tried so hard and I refused to see that you were dying. Maybe it was the way you looked at me still, or the way you'd still bark at a new person who all of a sudden entered the room, and the way you still showed excitement for a new toy. It all made me have hope and deny the idea that you were dying or saying goodbye.

But I see now, Ally. I see that those tail wags were less enthusiastic, and the stare was more so to make sure I was there for you and hadn't left your side. I see now that your bark was faint and your excitement was as tiresome as your movement. So when you had to go and I had to let you go, I was angry.

Anger.

I wasn't angry at you, Ally. I was angry at fate, destiny, and angry with God. How could he or she or it, let something so meaningful slip away so quickly. One moment you were a survivor and the next you were dead. There was no gradual decline in my eyes at the time, it just felt sudden.

So I was angry for the lack of warning. Angry that I didn't see it. Angry that I didn't ask more questions sooner or become more involved in your care. I was angry of the lack of education I had on the subject of cancer. I was angry that I trusted people with your life and they could have done more to watch for this return. I was also angry at myself for falling into a financial crisis and not being able to care for you around the clock and monitor everything to make sure it never returned. If only I wasn't disabled, I might have been able to provide you the best care and prolonged your beautiful existence. I was angry that I couldn't trade your life for mine.

Bargaining.

I would have given anything to know you would have had even a few more years to enjoy, even if it meant giving my life up for yours. I have always felt that animals deserve so much better than the humans who surround them. Not the ones who love them, but the ones who hurt them. We've taken a beautiful world and turned into a travesty. You were my beauty in an almost failed world.

I would have traded anything just to see you one more time. I didn't care what it would have taken to be able to kiss you and run my hands through your fur. It was depressing me more and more every day.

Depression.

I hit rock bottom mentally, physically, and emotionally. Losing you was so hard and so debilitating. I felt like the weight of our world rested on my shoulders and I couldn't move, couldn't speak. My depression manifested as my physical pain. I was hurt so much emotionally that my body was also hurt so much physically. That weight I have been carrying around was the guilt that I hadn't been able to do more for you and I have to stop blaming myself for something out of my control.

It was because I missed you so much and I couldn't change it. You weren't coming back. I spent most of the last year in this stage. I have to finally accept that you are not here. You aren't coming back and I did everything in my power that I believed was right for you.

Acceptance.

I accept that I'm not perfect, that life isn't perfect, and I did everything I could. You see, it wasn't about life being perfect that made us the greatest story I've ever told, Ally. It was all the truly meaningful and beautiful memories and moments we had that made our story Perfect. You were my perfect.. and for that I'm so grateful.

Our story doesn't end here, Ally. I was sent a little Yorkie Angel, named Osito, and I truly believe that through him, and because of you, I am ready to heal. He deserves all of me, the way I gave all of me to you. I know you'd want that.

For now Ally, I'll have to stop doing the things that bring me pain. I'll have to pause my Letters to you until I am ready to write the part of our story with those perfect memories and moments that inspired over 5,000 people to continue to read our story.

This is not goodbye, Ally. This is, I'll see you later.

I absolutely love you to the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love Always,

Mom

Dear Ally, I miss that gaze.
photo_672553032905721.jpg

Dear Ally,

I was going through some folder on my computer today, looking for something and I came across our old Facebook folder. The folder I downloaded of your photos some time ago before we reset the page. I noticed something in that folder Ally. You always looked at me with such love and devotion. It made me cry.

I don’t know how anyone deserves that kind of love, ever, but I am sure glad that I found it with you. I really miss that stare Ally. I miss catching your eyes and holding them in each other’s gaze until one of us looked away. You would always look at me so deeply. Almost as if you were peering straight into my heart. And that’s what you were. My heart.

I hope to see those lovely, big brown eyes again one day and just know the moment I catch them, their yours. I miss you Ally. I love you. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Dear Ally, Fall is almost here.
FB_IMG_1536465963987.jpg

Dear Ally,

Do you know that I based my Fall Mason Jar lineup on you? The reds and oranges like your fur. The browns remind me of the different highlights in your eyes. The creamy white of your senior sugar snout. Everything. Every little thing was all hand chosen and handmade with you in mind. I can't spend Fall with you because you're gone... but I can bring you into Fall with me.

It's about trying to hold onto you as much as I can. It's about that feeling I get when I close my eyes in the morning on the patio, drinking coffee, and getting ready for the day. It's just about feeling you as much as I can all around me and in the air, because I miss you so much.

Fall is a few weeks away and that means, the anniversary of the day you left is lingering closer... and it's so hard Ally. It's miserable knowing that I'll never be able to escape this emptiness inside of me. I loved you more than the air filling my lungs. You were my heart and soul and my best friend.

It's been hard staying focused without you. It's been hard ever since you left. Soon, I'll have to relive that all over again. October 25th 2017 was the day my heart sank to the bottom of the ocean of tears that God knows I cried for you. It was the day my Faith was also restored in religion because I couldn't imagine a world without you or that we would never see each other again. It was the day I didn't just lose a dog, but the best friend I could have ever hoped for.

I know you are somewhere out there Ally. I know because I can feel you in the wind, smell you in the air, see you in every shape of a cloud or shadow that casts across the path when my eyes wander. And it's those moments where I can feel you that I hold onto the most.

I love you Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Letters Out Loud
psdtwodogs.jpg

Dear Ally,

I have been sitting here thinking about what month it is and how close we are getting to the date of your death. I can only see the pain it will cause me deep down inside. I have not been able to get over your loss or fully stp mourning you the moment you crossed the rainbow bridge. I have not decided what to do with my life or made any major plans. In fact, I am living day to day because I can't see the future the way I saw it with you.

It's not that I love anyone or Osito less at all. it's just that you were the one living, breathing thing that inspired me the most. I might be getting better at fighting back the tears, and better at being able to smile, but I am not fixed yet. I don't think I'll ever be truthfully.

There are people, pets, and things that come into your life that will always leave a lasting impression. You were that thing for me. You were the lasting impression. I wish I could shake the awful feelings I feel when I think of your loss, and remember the happy things, and smile in your memory. I'm sure one day, that day shall come. It's just not today.

I have decided to drop a calendar and book with your letters in your name pre-Christmas season. I think a year of letters and memories, is exactly what we all need. Those who love you, would appreciate it and think very fond of the idea.

I started a Patreon this month. I am going to use it to start writing again and hopefully become a writer. I think next to designing, it's really where my heart is and where I can feel you the most. The writings will not only be for you, but a fictional story I have been writing for years. I am just hoping it turns out well as I am not the best writer.

I love and miss you Ally. We go hand in hand, like the sea meets the horizon. I will love you, always and forever.

Love,

Mom and Little Brother O

Ps. He started chasing a cat today and scared the crap out of me.

That Day I Knew I'd Say Goodbye
IMG_20180625_020528.jpg

Dear Ally,

I remember this day and I remember the way it felt watching you stare out at an open field of fog that morning. I knew I was losing you and you were saying goodbye. These two top photos were taken the day before you crossed the rainbow bridge.

Do you see it, Ally? Because I do. I see the fire that went out in your eyes. Different from the bottom two photos just a few months or so before. I see the pain in your eyes. I felt it deep inside with you and for you. So I knew it wasn't going to be long... even though... even though I fought so hard to never say goodbye to you.. I ended up saying it the next day.

Too soon, Ally. It was too soon. At least it felt that way, but was it really? Most dogs don't live to be nearly 16 years old... but you did. And if I never said it before, or you didn't know... I was so proud to be your best friend, and your mom.

I love you, Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

The Letters To Ally Book
DSC_0297.JPG

I have partnered with Shutterfly to make books complete with photos and Letters To Ally. They're offering me really good prices for the book. I am considering working on this. They would be available around June/July if I went through with it. I am wondering how many people would be interested!?

The book would be a hard cover book with 21-30 pages of her best photos edited by me and the best letters I have written to her. Mostly, it be a way for me to put the final letters I want to write on paper and have them spread onto the world. I feel like this would be a great way to let go of the past and move forward with Osito. It is not goodbye, but rather, I'll see you later, to the best friend anyone could have asked for.

The book would run about $54.95 with shipping included. More than half of that is really the cost of the perfect book that would not only do Ally's memory justice, but all of you. I want it to be the best book ever in her memory.

You can comment on this post or hit us up on our social media! I just want to gage the interest because I would have to order quite a bit in advance. Thanks Ally Pack!

A Tale Of Healing
ALLYNEWBLOG1.png

Dear Ally,

Life is so hard without you. I am trying every day to be happy but I find I am having issues to find things to be happy about. Why is life so hard?

Forget the physical pain because the emotional is far more worse. I would rather die a thousand times than feel the pain of losing you. I know loss is hard, but this is been the hardest I have ever been through.

Osito has a birthday in July. He will be two. While our tale is of undying love, his and mine is a tale of healing. Both of us are healing and we grow closer every day. I hope you're watching over him Ally. He needs your guidance. He's just a wee little fellow.

I love you Ally, to the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Ps. We have an additonal letter to Ally scheduled on our facebook page today for 3:30 AM PT.

A crazy thing you did there Ally..
photo_753823834778640.jpg

Dear Ally,

I had a lot on my mind yesterday when somehow, out of nowhere, and completely unexplainable, I ended up at your shrine in front of your ashes with my hand on them. I have been so busy and mentally exhausted lately that I have been wondering what you're doing at those exact moments. That thought today led me directly to you. By the time I realized what I was doing, I had already calmed down inside. I was super overwhelmed at the time it happened. Somehow, a sense of calm took over my body and mind as I stood there with my hand on your urn.

Thank you Ally. Thank you for all that you do when you're not physically here to do it. I know your body might be gone, but your heart still lives on in the lives of others. You were such an amazing confidant with matters of the heart, and I know you continue to be with me from another life. I sure hope, you are still living the new life you have though and not worrying too much about me, for I would never want to take you away from the new happiness your heart is sure to find.

It's been nearly 6 months Ally. Six long drooling months of heartache and tears. Every time I think I am closer to being able to think of you without crying, I take six steps back. Nostalgia is a funny thing. It can be both happy and awful.

I think a lot of what I am feeling is resentment and guilt. Resenting not telling you I loved you more, or having you here with me. Like I have been cut short of happiness and had you stolen from me. Guilt because I should have done more and found a way. Hopeless because I know I cannot anymore and things would probably end up the same if given a do-over.

We are simple individuals Ally. Life is far more complicated than you and I. I just wish we were not given such little time. I just wish and long for one more day.

I love you Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Today is a beautiful day Ally!
DSC_0105.JPG

Dear Ally,

Today is a beautiful Spring day. I almost miss how I know you would have enjoyed sitting by my side and soaking up the sun. I don't have you right now, but I do have Osito. He deserves a great Spring. I see you in his eyes Ally. I know you're guiding him. He's absolutely perfect.

While I cannot wait for all of us to be a family again one day, I am in no rush. I am enjoying my time with him. He is such a gentle soul. I believe you already know that.

I love you Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love, 

Mom

Ps. Grammy has a birthday coming up on April 10th. Maybe you could stop by her dreams and say hi!

Everything reminds me of you.
FB_IMG_1521861713751.jpg

Dear Ally,

I was scrolling across my newsfeed on Facebook and saw a video about a dog and it made me cry. Anytime I watch a video about other animals, it hits me in the heart. This one was about leaving the dog all alone at home for long periods of time. It made me happy to think about how I stopped that a few years before I lost you. It made me sad about not having something with easier hours prior to those last few years so that you never had to be alone.

We can't all not have office jobs, but we can choose to put family first and work regular hours. I'm glad I never left you alone for long periods of time. I couldn't wait to get home and walk you. I couldn't wait to load you up in the car and take you to the park. You were my everything and my best friend.

I miss those long walks a lot Ally. I miss seeing you light up when I grabbed that leashe. I miss having my big red right next to me. Oh man, do I miss it. I miss the excitement you had when I came home and how you'd run in circles and stampede. The way you could light up my heart when you looked into my eyes.

In life, we will have very few deep and meaningful connections with those we come across.  I'm so very happy that one of the most meaningful connections I have ever had was with the most beautiful creature in the world. I'm so grateful it was with you. I love you Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Dear Ally
DSC_0006.JPG

Dear Ally,

Every time I can't seem to get you off my mind, I write a letter. Writing those letters can be such a bittersweet moment. Bitter because I have to dig into some pretty still dark area's of my heart to talk to you. Area's that are full of pain and regret. Sweet because I love thinking about all of the wonderful moments we shared that brought us to where we are. I just wish the ending was different.

Physical pain doesn't seem to stop me dead in my tracks quite as often as emotional pain from losing a best friend. Do you think anyone else understands? I know some who will and others who won't. None of that matters because even then, we all have different levels or weight of grief. I feel mine is so much heavier than I can sometimes handle.

That's where the sweet memories help me a lot. Your face can make me smile a million times more than it will make me cry. Sure, I'll continue to die inside each time after I've smiled looking into your loyal brown eyes, but I'll also remember that you're never too far gone. You're just a breath taking dream away.

I miss you so much, Ally. I love you more than words can express. I love you more than the distance to the moon and back. I love you always and forever, and that's a long time.

Love,

Mom

When I Dream Of You
FB_IMG_1519099648386.jpg

Dear Ally,

I was exhausted yesterday and went to bed early, only to awake to tears flooding down my cheeks. I was dreaming of the day I said goodbye to you and you were relieved of your pain. I remember your face when they took you away after I sat there with you for a while. It was that of a sleeping dog who had no pain and was finally at peace.

That same image comes and goes in my mind, and every time, I break down and cry so hard. I knew you were no longer suffering, but it still burns my heart into ashes knowing that was the moment you were free of your pain, and I was in nothing but pain and turmoil for the rest of my life.

It gets easier Ally. Each and every day it gets easier but it doesn't hurt any less. I couldn't be selfish with you any longer and you couldn't hold on. I know dogs age quicker than humans, so I like to think you lived a long and truly happy life. It just hurts to know that it came down to cancer. Nothing but cancer.

Every day is a new day Ally. A new day I wake up, get ready, work as hard as I can to recover from surgery and accidents, try to rebuild, and learn to love all over again. I didn't think I'd want to pour so much love into another after you, but Little O is a god send, and he makes it his duty to brighten my days. After all, you did send him to me and this I truly believe.

This journey and adventure with you taught me a lot, Ally. It taught me that some people will doubt you. Some will talk behind your back. Others will stop talking to you. But most people who truly care for you, will support you through it all. It's not my job to make people believers or worry about what they have to say because they're going to say it anyway. All I have to do is embrace the adventure, feel the love, and live the journey. And we did Ally. We lived the journey through you, and will continue to because of you.

We love you Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Do you ever...
DSC_0133.JPG

Do you ever truly get over losing a pet? The answer is no. You do not get over it, you learn to accept it and move onto a new journey. I imagine loss is not something anyone ever gets over. You would have to carry around the darkest heart to forget someone who gave you their entire hear completely. I miss Ally every day. It's been a little over 3 months. I know I can't bring her back, but I can continue to carry on her legacy. And that's what I am going to do. I am working on so many things. I know they'll take time, but in the end, it will be the best thing I can do in her memory. I love you Ally, to the moon and back. Always and forever.

I'm hurting Ally.
DSC_0206smaller.png

Dear Ally,

I woke up from a bad nightmare this morning. I was worried about my blood pressure and having a heart attack in this dream. I didn't pay it no mind, until I started crying when I looked over at your urn. Maybe it's a sign. I know I have had to result to being put on blood pressure medication since your loss. I don't think it's entirely due to that, but majority.

I cried because I missed you. I cried because I long for you. I cry because I love you so much. I can't tell you how bad it feels and how sad it is. I can only tell you that with each passing day, I hate being here without you. I have no energy half the time. That's also due to the pain I am feeling while the doctors figure it out, but even my mind has no time for anything. I just don't want to be without your touch, your kiss, and your soft fur anymore. I am trying to find a new purpose Ally, but everything seems so far out of my reach.

I am so depressed Ally. I keep trying to reach out to people, but I am not having any luck. I don't think the people closest to me understand. They have this idea that I'll be okay, but I am not okay. On the outside, I am tired all the time, and don't want to move. I am physically in pain from injuries, but now my mind is in pain from thinking about losing you over and over again. Mentally and emotionally, I am a mess. I wake up, and I get out of bad, I am reminded that you're gone. It's like waking up, just to have someone rip out your heart, drop it on the floor, and watch it shatter all over again.

I am trying to live without you, but it isn't easy. In fact, it's the hardest thing I have ever had to do. In fact, I am not even worried about the biopsy surgery coming up soon. I use to. Now I don't care what the result is, because it will either be seeing you soon, or being tormented by your memory. I will either be fighting for my life, or fighting to forget the pain.

I keep going though Ally. I try to find new purpose. I wanted to get a puppy and try to lift my spirits, but I don't want to keep asking people for help. I don't want to be that person.

So I tried to engage my mind back into making things, but I have more obstacles in my way. I find that I am just running out of reasons to keep working past those obstacles. My mind just shuts down. There is no happiness in my life right now. Everything just hurts.

I'll keep trying Ally, but I want you to know that it is harder than I ever believed. I try because I don't want to let you down. I love you Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.

Love,

Mom

Hi Ally. Just 8 more days until Christmas!

Hi Ally,

The days are getting closer to the best day of the year. I wish it was the best day for me. I miss you Ally. I came across this photo and it made me laugh...

I cannot imagine how much you put u with me clothing you with that elf hat. You were so silly Ally. I always made up for it though! You got extra treats and longer walks. I don't have anyone to dress up this year. So I decided to dress up something else...

It's not you, but it will do. It's your memorial statue. I love you Ally. To the moon and back. Always and forever.
