Haunted and Heartbroken

So let's just get the bad news

out of the way first, shall we?

A little over a week ago, my husband and I said

a tearful farewell to our first baby together,

Mickey.

Mickey was a huge part of the family for nearly 16 years.

Her heart was stronger than the rest of her old body

in the end, and we had to make the devastating decision

to help her move on.

...sigh...tears.....more tears....

Sometimes the best people in our lives

aren't really people at all.

I miss you Mama.

So I have been a bit sketchy over the past month or so.

Rightly so.

But, I am getting my act back together and am trying to 

channel my pain and sadness in a more creative way.

I give you my submission for the

Love Lies Bleeding challenge
over at HDH this week.

I chose to use this awesome image of Sid and Nancy

(beautifully drawn by Mindy Doodles)

 to represent my version of love gone wrong.

Really wrong.

I also used a Sex Pistols' song title for my sentiment. 

I'm cool like that.

Nancy: If I asked you to kill me, would you?

Sid: I don't know. How would I do it? I couldn't live without ya.

Now that's true love.....

There is still plenty of time to play along with us over at

Haunted Design House this week.
