I’ve started this post in my head probably 50+ times. I miss my blog, I miss my readers, I miss social media (facebook and twitter) and commenting on other blogs. The past\u00a0couple of\u00a0months have changed me. I am definitely a different person because of it. Saying that life has been a roller coaster – would be the understatement of the year. A lot has happened.<\/p>\n

Just over 2 months ago I lost\u00a0one of the most important things in my life… the constant love and companionship of my beloved Higgy. It was sudden. He got sick on a Wednesday and a trip to the regular vet and another to\u00a0emergency on Sunday\u00a0left my husband and I with giant holes in our hearts and a very quiet and empty car ride home. I have not been the same since. I won’t ever be the same. I can’t even say his name out loud or in my head without tearing up. He was more special to me than I could ever explain in a blog post, status update or tweet.<\/p>\n

My angel Higgy gave me my life back after the sudden death of my first husband. It was because of him that I was able to sleep, smile and open my heart to love again. I think we both gave each other exactly what we needed in life. He helped me\u00a0become the person that I am today and I in return was the best dog mommy I could be, by giving him the most comfortable life possible.\u00a0 I now add Higgins to the list of angels that continue to look out for me.<\/p>\n

I made a promise to myself to get back to cooking and blogging… but how could I do that without talking about Hig and my absence from the Internet?\u00a0He was such a major part of my life, my writing and my blog over the past\u00a09 years. I need\u00a0blogging back in my life. So I’m putting away the convenience foods, dusting off\u00a0my camera, cleaning out the pantry and clipping recipes from the foot tall stack of magazines I plan to attack. I can’t say when or how often I will post, the plan is to ease back into things.<\/p>\n

I will miss my little kitchen buddy… and I will certainly miss the Higga stares and licks I got as I laid on the floor to get the perfect food shot.<\/p>\n

RIP my sweet baby Higgins…
