There was a wedding I was part of last weekend, someone who's become a close friend but one shared by me and Dee. Doing this wedding was difficult as not only did I have to see Dee but I also had to see Dee with her new fiance. I was kind of a mess, all sorts of jacked up. I settled down, made the bride and our wedding party my focus and made it thru relatively unscathed. Lars came as my date and Kenz got an invite so she brought Connor. They kept a running commentary that had me laughing a lot and were just above and beyond supportive of me. That meant so much to me. Nemo was a wreck too. It's the first time he's seen Dee since everything went down with them too and he was scared I think but with the support system we have...it went okay. The groom doesn't care for Dee either, nor did Nicole (one of my besties) who was also in the wedding party and the best man was the groom's brother so in the grand scheme of things, Dee was the outsider in a group of people who see her for who she is. I felt...safe. It was a nice change of pace. I feel like I have a semblance of a community finally. It's kind of amazing.
In other news, the boys are good. Trev is maintaining an even keel. Ry got his license and is buying an Explorer from his gf's parents. Bran is Bran. Still walking thru his life sleepwalking but he's steady and stable so I can't complain.
I think we're going to have to put Reecedog down soon. He's getting so old and he's having a tough time with stairs and getting up and down from couches and beds. He also sporadically is peeing on random things (Ryan's shoes, my laundry basket, etc) so I'm thinking we're getting close. His sniffer isn't working as well, he has cataracts and he IS nearly 14 now. My poor sweet boy.
