Sick day

Well I called in sick today.  I have a horrible cold!  Grayson had it first and I think he has passed it on to Aubrey and I.  It is giving me some time to reflect though...
I haven't posted in a while because I knew that thinking about things would make me think about Gomer.  We lost him a few weeks ago and it has been painful for me.  I know people don't care about pets as much as I might, but he really was like part of the family.  I've had him for 5 years.  The worst part is how he died.  Mike and I decided to go get some Bravo's in Mullins.  I took Gomer in the car with me, which is weird because normally Kay Kay is my car riding dog, but anyways, we picked up our food and headed home.  Gomer fell asleep in my lap.  We have a gate on our property so Mike gets out to open it.  Then he pulls the car through to close the gate.  I let Gomer out of the car so he could play with the other dogs.  Mike didn't know and then just pulls the car to park it.  Gomer was underneath.  I felt us run over him.  I got out and ran to him.  His heart was still beating and I kept my hand there for a few seconds and felt it stop.  I sat out there with him for a while before letting Mike near him.  Mike was very upset and stood in the yard crying for a long time.  He buried him and we all went out and said goodbye.  I was sick and still am over it.  I miss him so much....
