Thank you all for your kind messages about Cheddie Cheese. I'm still sad and down about his death, but one would say that he is indeed in Heaven...
I'm going to go to Home Depot this weekend and buy some orange impatiens plants and put around his stone. I have a beautiful resin statute of an angel that is bent down with her head on her knees and arms around her head with about two feet high wings standing straight up to the sky, that will sit on his grave.
For NYE, I stayed home, not wanting to go out and celebrate. This caused a major problem with the XH, whom basically said I was being stupid for acting like a human died. I won't go into his exact words - but, they were pretty mean and inconsiderate.
I spoke with him on New Year's night - the same thing. So, I told him that I'll call him when I feel better...but, I haven't called yet...I'm not sure if I will...
