💫 Life is happening. The past two months have been... a lot - a crazy rollercoaster ride with sudden drops, rising highs, and sharp curves, all at an overwhelming speed. I didn’t know how to come up for air, but I’m starting to feel the light and catch my breath. The ride is only beginning, but I couldn’t imagine going through it with anyone but you @rosseckert 💓 Hands up! 🎢🙌🏽
Last Friday was our 8 year anniversary 💓 There is nothing but gratitude and a full heart for what has truly been the happiest 8 years of my life. Through it all, the ups and downs and all arounds, you have been my rock @rosseckert . Looking forward to the many more adventures life has in store for us 🥂 • Year 8: Less travel, more quality time with family, friends, and Z. Lots of hikes/drives upstate, with trips to Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Mexico, Japan, and Colorado in-between. Plenty of eating and drinking throughout. 😋
Our best friend, our sweet little girl, Zezu.
The light of our life, our greatest joy, our most loyal and faithful companion, our everything. We will never know another soul as sweet and as kind as hers. There was a depth and purity to her that one rarely gets to encounter in a lifetime. She was truly one of a kind, and touched so many souls.
Z’s health took a sudden turn, and she passed away peacefully last Tuesday in our loving arms. She was loyal until her very last moments on earth. Whether stepping out for an errand or on vacation, she always knew we would come back for her and waited patiently for our return. We were a pack of 3, and she always made sure we were all together. She continued to give us that gift and waited for us to book an immediate flight home from the other side of the world to be with her on her last day. She left this world in her home, on her terms, with her two humans. She did not suffer. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect and peaceful moment.
Zezu lived 12 full and amazing years. Every second was filled with the deepest and most filling kind of love. Our worlds revolved around each other. She filled our hearts in ways we never knew were possible. She shaped us to be the people we are today.
The past 8 years as a family of 3 were everything to me, and being her mother has been my greatest joy and my greatest honor. She filled our hearts and gave us purpose. We didn’t need more.
I’m going to miss this sweet face. Her snoot, her scoot, her snores, her velveteen ears, those expressive eyes. All the things she had to say. I’m going to miss the smallest moments of my day that were so deeply woven with Z’s love and personality. We’re going to miss her tumbleweeds of endless short black fur. “Her love” we called it. It was everywhere, all the time, and we liked to think she was making sure we remembered her love.
Zezu, you have shown me the great joys of motherhood. You have taught me a depth of patience, companionship, and unconditional love I never would have known otherwise. I will carry your spirit and your gift with me forever my little pig. You were perfect. Thank you for the most wonderful years of our lives.
