So, today was a day that began with an ending. As I mentioned several days ago, The Puppy was not well and last night she really took a turn for the worse. Unfortunately, this morning we had to say goodbye to a faithful companion who has been by our sides since the beginning of our life together. Even though we knew this was coming, we were all heart broken. As The Boy put it tonight, " I just thought again that she is gone and it just makes me so sad."
The day progressed as days do, in spite of the fact that it began on such an awful note. My Wonderful Husband and I have been in discussions with the Mazda dealer about our new car and today was unfortunately the last day of the dealer incentives and we had to make a decision or lose the car. So that brings me to the beginnings part of the day - a new car - although it required another ending - saying goodbye to another part of our lives - it was a happy new beginning on a day that began with a sad ending. That brings me at last to the first - On a day chock full of emotional goodbyes and bitter sweet new arrivals - The Boy got in to the car at pick up this afternoon and flashed us this toothless grin. He lost his first tooth at school today!!!! He was over the moon excited! - "I am a toothless wonder!" he said. I am thankful for the beginnings and firsts from today that softened the blow of the ending.
