It is unbelievable to me that I have had a blog for this long and I haven't posted any pictures of the love of my life - Mr. Henry Garcia Rosa.  My Bichon Frise.  I can't imagine life without him.  I love him so so so much.  Here are a few pics.  Just indulge me:)
Was just groomed.
My mom and Henry on Christmas day 2008.


This is my favorite pic of him.  It really seems to show his personality.

On Friday, March 20th we celebrated Randy's birthday. We had dinner at a place called C-level. It was the perfect place to celebrate his birthday because he always loved the water. We had  beautiful view of the water and San Diego skyline from our table. The picture was taken from my seat at the table. It was WONDERFUL! 







Although the reason for the dinner was somewhat sad it was nice to celebrate the life he had. We had a birthday cake for him, sang "Happy Birthday" and my dad blew out the candle. It was touching.

Kacy purchased some Orchids to have with us at the table. Orchids were Randy's favorite flowers. We tried to get them in as many pictures as we could. That was very sweet of Kacy to do. They were beautiful!

Physical Therapy



I had a good day at physical therapy.  I am making progress.  I hope to soon join a gym in La Mesa that works only with disabled people.  It is called the Challenge center.  I hope to take a tour of it soon.  I was able to lay on the mat today on my back and do a very little bicycle motion with my left (the bad) leg.  It was kind of exciting.  Again, day by day, little by little.

My new car



I promised that my next post would be positive and I never break a promise.  First of all, I recently bought a new Toyota wheelchair accessible van and I love it.  These pictures aren't of my actual van but their pretty close.  It enables me to drive anywhere I want by myself.  The driver's seat swivels around enabling me to transfer onto it.  It's great.  I can't say I drive a lot yet on my own.  I'm still a little shaky.  I still pretty much drive with a caregiver with me but, in time, I will be on my own.

I'd like to report that I am doing better but the grieving process seems to have just begun in many ways.  Right after his death there was a lot of hustle and bustle going on trying to arrange the funeral, etc.  Now that things have settled down I am trying to deal with the reality that he is gone.  I don't like death and never have.  I need to focus on the trueness of the gospel and the fact that he is no longer suffering and I will see him again.  
I promise my next post will be more positive:)
