Remembering my “Huggie Bear” Paul with his last Selfie

Published March 2, 2026 by BellaDharma an BellaSita Mum

“Guess who? Guess who?” Guess….iss mee BellaDharma…..mee hopess efurryone iss well. Mee was gonna bloggie today butt today iss Mistur Paul’ss 2nd Annie-versary of his passin. BellaSita’ss “Huggie Bear”. Shee wantss (needss) to share a bit…..so mee step aside an let her meow to all of youss’ Thanx fore beein heer fore her an us!

Hello Fellow Bloggers & Followers. Thank you for indulging me today. It is 2 years today that Paul E. my “Huggie Bear” left this world. I still don’t have absolute closure or acceptance. It’s been so surreal. I haven’t accepted he’s gone; not fully.

I AM working on a plan to go down to Fergus, Ontario to visit Paul’s grave & say a proper Goodbye. I need this. Paul needs it. He’ll always be my “Huggie Bear”. I need to accept he is not coming back as I had to do with Kevin & Paul #1.

Something sweet & special happened to me Saturday, Feb. 21st. Mistur R was driving back from Fergus & entered Mt. Forest. He asked if I wanted a few fotos of Paul’s house & I said “YES!!!!”

I gave him the address & he stopped & took fotos. Sadly the house has sat empty since Paul passed. The house looks so empty & lonely…I wonder what will happen to it?

I have only happy & good memories there. This was my ‘safe haven’ for 3+ years of my life. So many memories….

I could go on & on but I won’t. I’ll just say I loved Paul #2 with all my heart. And he lives in my heart to this day with Paul #1. The 2 best men I knew. (Mister R also in THAT category). Thank you so much for taking the time to take these fotos & for being such a good friend & support. I found the last foto of Paul #2 & so I will join Kitties Blue Sunday Selfies.

Here’s the Badge:

And here is Paul #2’s last Selfie:

May Paul’s memory be for a Blessing.

Again thank you everyone for your support & understanding. You’re the BEST!!!

BellaSita unplugged vacuum an opened patio doorss an THREW heavy Vacuum out innto the snow! Shee did NOT want it to catch on fire! Or set off ackshual Fire Alarm! It was funny to see THE big ugly vacuum fly!!! Mew mew mew…..
