This is Peanut Butter Brickle. You know, I am a strong man. You’ve seen me fight thru a lot of problems and ailments. You’ve seen me defy the odds. You’ve been here for so many years. And wow. I appreciate you. I hope you know that.
Girl Person had one of those days yesterday when she thought she felt something was wrong. Her heart hurt.
And it just kept nagging at her.
She said she was worrying a lot. And I kept trying to reassure her. But she told me to take care of me. That’s funny. Because I only know how to take care of her.


Girl Person said her heart is tired. It’s been worrying a lot about me. And it’s been worrying about Fruity’s allergies.

Her heart has been worrying too about our little house in Italy and getting there. But she said her heart is longing too. It seems to be working overtime.

She said a heart can also want something so bad it hurts. Like for all of us to have good health. And for all of us to get to that Italy place in a fun and safe and enjoyable way. A lot has to be right for that to happen. And a lot is still unknown.
When the heart aches, it can mean something good or bad. But the way that I see it is that if we feel our heart, we are alive. We are living.
We have emotions. And emotions can propel us in a good direction or a sinking one. I choose to think Girl Person will use this time to learn. To make decisions. And to really find out what is important.

Life isn’t all peanut butter and cookies.
Sometimes we have to go thru difficult times to get to the absolute best times. And let me tell you. The best times are ahead.
We move today to another rental. And it’s a farm! Stay tuned!

So sorry about girl person not feeling well. I have been really sick too and in a lot of pain everywhere. I am 83. I sure wish you guys could get settled in one place, either in the US or Italy. Brickle your face looks really swollen on one side. I hope that isn’t where you had that monster lump. I worry so much about you guys and my own two senior dogs. I am trying to hang on for my boys. Sending hugs and prayers❤️🐾🙏
