Losing Loti was and continues to be very hard. He was a huge personality in a small package and his presence is this home is missed so much. It is much too calm around here and I've had to sweep the kitchen floor twice this week. :)
Obviously, my heart still desires that Loti be here. However, I know that there are seasons. He gives and takes away. Ecclesiastes 3:2 says there is a time to be born and a time to die. I know that he holds all of us in his hands, including our fur-babies. There were many times that Loti could have died, but last Friday was his time to be with Jesus. And I am so thankful that we were given 8.5 years to love on him and call him our own.
I am usually extremely busy - running here and there. To this doctor appointment and that therapy session and this or that school thing. But last week was fall break and we had NOTHING scheduled. And because of that, I was able to easily take Loti to all of his appointments and stay up all night with him, without having to function at 100% the next day. And to top it all off - Will was able to say Good-Bye to Loti.
And because God is so Good - Anabella had her birthday and her birthday party on Saturday and Sunday; which was a much needed distraction for Will. I amazingly had done all of my shopping and preparing for her party and gifts several weeks ago - so I didn't even have that on my plate last week.
Losing Loti has shown me how much God takes care of us, even down to the last detail. I am so grateful for His Love and for His presence in this family.
Please continue to pray for Will. He misses Loti so much and is really struggling to find peace.
