Irreplaceable

As I struggle to find words to express my feelings tonight, ‘irreplaceable’ keeps spiraling to the surface.

She came into our lives in October 2004 and changed our family forever.

We thought we knew love before we met our Sheila. Boy, were we in for a surprise.

There just aren’t any words for me to share with you tonight.

This photo of Sheila and Spartacus snuggled together almost inseparably, has them facing a wall hanging we got after Karl died. In stumbling upon this tonight, I think she is letting me know we listened to her…by letting her go.  It says:

In the end what matters most is

How well did you live

How well did you love

How well did you learn

To let go
