Missing a Monster on Halloween
It’s starting to get colder here in the great state of Minnesota. The days are becoming shorter as well as darker. The sun has officially taken a hiatus. Everyone in the house is doing fine. Freya is really enjoying the cold weather, it’s definitely her season. Her winter coat is coming in so she’s looking extra poofy these days.
Tomorrow is Halloween, although we won’t be doing anything since the little one can’t really trick-or-treat yet. We’ll hand out candy until 7:30 then it’s lights out. Tyr can’t seem to not bark and wake the baby every time someone comes to the door. I think a lot of parents would empathize with me.
Odin loved Halloween. He liked watching the kids come to the door. He’d wait at the gate and just peer over it. The kids always like seeing him in the background with his ears perked and his little nub wagging. It still hurts to talk about him. I think of him every single day. I’ve stopped crying (most of the time) but my chest still hurts. The ache will never fade.
Speaking of Halloween and all things scary; I thought I’d share a list of what Odin was afraid of:
-Dust bunnies
-The broom
-The vacuum
-The gate
-Little dogs
-Cats that weren’t his
-A zombie key chain that’s eyes would pop out if you squeezed it
-People wearing gloves
-The hose
-The bath
-Nail trims
Those are only a few off the top of my head. Poor gentle giant!!
Now I’d like to share some fun Halloween pictures of him and Freya!
Odin as Batman for his first Halloween! Only 7 months old.
Freya’s first Halloween! 3 months old.
Odin became too big for any dog costumes, so he wore Angel Wings made for an adult human’s costume. 2 years old!

Oh beautiful Angel Odin, look at those good times you had! I love that you partied for Howloween with such great costumes. But dude, dust bunnies scared you? That is adorable and so funny!
I know you must worry about your momma’s heartache. She misses you so much! And Halloween…it’s one of those days of the year that reminds us you can’t be here to celebrate, and that’s not an easy thing to think about. But as your momma recalls other adorable things you did while you were here on earth, those days get easier to go through and easier to treasure your memory during each and every one.
Love you sweet angel.
