This has been the hardest week of my life. I have tried to hold it together when our world has fallen apart. I'm absolutely devastated that our beloved Molly left us on Friday 22nd March. My heart is broken into tiny pieces.
Molly battled for the last 3 years with less mobility and aging after 3 major knee surgeries. I have given her everything to care for her needs and I loved her more than I ever knew was possible.
She was my baby, a sister, my minder, my best friend. She chose me when she was a wild pup of 10 months old in Co. Meath. Since that day, my life has revolved around her. I chose jobs, houses, car, a lifestyle that would suit her, that would be best for her. I used all my savings for her operations, ongoing meds and hefty vets bills. I'd do it all again 100 times over for her.
Molly lived a happy, full of love life to 13 years and 6 months old. She only knew love and we had the wildest adventures from hikes to house parties, camping to cafes and lots of lazy lie ins. She grew up in the city, later on the beach and aged amongst the trees. Always by my side.
Molly had a party with her friends on her last day with steak, chicken, cake and so much chocolate. My Molly Bear drew her last breath with my arms wrapped tightly around her, surrounded by Jason and our wonderful friends Claire & Sarah.
I'm heart broken 💔 and so blessed she chose me, my life was and will never be the same again 💚💚💚
I have kept quiet all week about my pain, I didn't feel able to speak about Mol. I taught classes looking haunted and so very sad. I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you in person and was distant. I just didn't have the words or the ability to keep moving once the flood gates would open. Mols was right there in a little glass vial against my chest with me. Now with class term complete I can surrender.
I'm taking a few days off, I've prescheduled posts etc to give me space to grieve. It would be a huge support if you could please book into classes starting 8th April at www.ebbflowyoga.ie as I won't be as "on it" as usual to send reminders or respond to emails.
Thank you for your kindness 💚
Molly may you always be wild and free❤️
