I’m not great with words which is why I usually like to keep it simple. But, this felt like one of those times I needed to at least try to elaborate how I was feeling. This is a tremendous loss to our family. I think this one stings extra because Pete symbolized more than just a pet. Pete symbolized a new chapter in mine and Aubree’s life. I have dreamed of having a farm for a very very long time. I dreamed of having a big family, a loving husband, and a farm full of funny animals. Pete was the first. Cole was totally on board with my silly idea of getting a pig and it truly felt like I had found my person that supported my crazy dream. We now have a silly little farm, with many funny animals and a handful more kids - everything I dreamed of having...and Pete was the first. I hope there’s endless belly scratches in heaven.
