Gotti

I typed the title Gotti and stared at my computer for awhile. He has been so hard to talk about, so hard, that I don't. Sometimes I forget that he is no longer with us-it's easier that way, atleast for now. The last six months have brought about so much change. If I could talk to myself in September 2009 and disclose where I am now and everything that has happened in my life, I wouldn't believe it for a minute.

I miss Gotti so much. With Marcus Jr at school and Marcus Sr at work I spent most of my days at home with Gotti. He would literally follow me everywhere I would go, even if he was asleep he would wake up and be right behind me. He was an awesome dog and brought so much love, fun, and security to my family. He liked what he liked and who he liked, and outside of my household there wasn't too many in the "who" category, but he's never caused anyone any harm.

Marcus Jr brings up Gotti almost daily- from "Mommy, I miss Gotti" to "Can we go to the dog store and pick up Gotti?" Marcus Jr is only four, so at this time we haven't explained to him that Gotti is gone forever. 

I really don't know what else to say-it took me almost an hour just to type this much. Below are the last photos that I took of Gotti.
