US and Our Pups2

Wow, this is the beginning the 3rd month in this new year, 2020. Time flies by it seems. I can't believe it's just a week or so for Spring to begin again, the time changes to an hour going forward.
Soon, I can plant some vegetables in containers. I look forward to doing that. It would be fun to go outside to pick a tomato, cucumber, bell pepper that's growing on a beautiful, lush, green plant.
I do have a wish for this summer
I wish for it to be a mild, 'perfect' summer
Why? Last summer here broke records for being the very hottest ever. It was most unbearable ... but, we made it.
I am looking forward to working in the yard outside. Last summer we couldn't go outside for the heat. Skip and I both didn't want to risk getting heat-stroke as we have medical conditions. I had just had open-heart surgery for 2 blockages (widow-maker). He'd already suffered strokes, heart (he has a pacemaker), diabetes. One does have to be careful when the weather is too hot.
I am Skip's ... guardian angel. That's right. I watch over him at all times ... no matter if he is sleeping, reading ... playing with Pups I'm very aware of how he is feeling. He watches over me, also. It is because we are so close, we are all we have ... us and our Pups2. It used to be Pups3 ... it still hurts deeply.
Our little world is just us, and the Pups2 now, in this big, old world. We have to make sure it's happy, healthy, alright. No, it hasn't been easy at all.
No one can ever know what we've been through as we are very private. I'm sure many of you understand ... the ones who don't complain, cry or whine all the time. That's not saying everyone else cries, whines at all ... there are just some who do that have everything ... don't know to appreciate it. I have no sympathy for them.
Most of you probably have giant families and I hope you do. That's a gift you have ... maybe some don't realize that. I can tell you from experience from losing every close family member all the way to the loss of my only child ... it's lonely to grow older without any family support. No one cares about you like your family does.
It's just us and our Pups2 now. I treasure them with my very Heart. This is my world ... my little world in this big, old world.

We change our clocks here on the 29th or late 28th of this month. It is raining today. I am sitting at the computer and watching the rain come down and listen to the lightning. It is really coming down. I hope spring will come soon. I am so so sorry what you and your husband have been through. I am glad you have each other and the pups. I have my cat and myself only. Take care of yourselves.

Thank you very much for your words. I pray you stay safe where you are, always. I'm so glad you have your cat. If I didn't have Skip and our Pups2, I wouldn't have anyone. All my family is gone and I treasure my little world, it's a big world to me.

For us, it's the same - us + two cats, who are basically our kids.

Our Pups2 like your 2 cats are basically our children, too. They and Skip are the only close family I have left in this world.
