Oz

This past weekend was a rough one... There was a lot of talk of dying and heaven, starting with the 5K that we walked in honor of Jane, the Princess Warrior, that lost her battle with cancer last year. Some of you might know that Oz has been having a lot of issues over the past year. He was diagnosed with having congestive heart failure and has been on a couple different types of medicine. He continued to have issues with seizure type episodes, wasn't breathing very well and was losing weight rapidly. On Sunday he died. He has been in our family longer then any of our kids and there is a huge hole in all of our hearts. It was one of the hardest talks that I have ever had to have with my kids and while it was a bit easier to explain death when it is a pet and not a person, it is still a hard thing to explain to your kids... They wanted to make him a headstone, so we found the perfect rock and worked together as a family to create it. They picked what they wanted it to say and we made it happen. I think it says it perfectly - we all loved Oz!
