    Pussasussafruss: My heart is broken in two. I am so sad you are gone yet relieved that you are no longer in any pain. Please continue to stay close to me – I feel you here and never want you to go far. There is nothing I wouldn’t do to bring you back, whole and healthy. with all of my love – Big Belly xo
