I think Codie and Cali would be DEVESTATED without me. Codie would take my loss the worst. I honestly don't know if he could survive without me (and trust me, that feeling is mutual). We are unbelieveably close and so attached to each other. I love him so much. Jim and I got him 1 month after we were married (right when we came home from our honeymoon). So he's been with the both of us right from the start. I can't imagine living without him. He's my little boy!
Cali is totally dependent on me for just about everything (which I don't think is a good thing in case, god forbid, something ever happened to me). She's very needy and will neve leave my side. Even when I go to the bathroom she comes in and cries until I pick her up (gross right? lol
) Since she has an open fontanel (hope I spelled that right lol), I take EXTREME EXTRA CARE and caution with her (that goes from allowing or not allowing people to pet/hold her to even how I put her harness on what the type of clothes I buy). I'm always careful not to hit her open soft spot. I always worry about her and make sure she eats and is ok. I think she picks up on that and in turn depends on me way too much. If I walk into another room and close the door, she'll stand outside it and cry.
Tia is the strongest out of all 3 of them. I know she'd miss me terribly and be devestated but I think eventually, with the right person to love her, she'd move on and be ok. I think it helps that she's super close to her daddy, so she isn't TOTALLY dependent on me. Cali and Codie love their daddy but they have a special bond with me. They NEED me in a different from from Tia neeidng me. I kind of wish they didn't because it makes me worry about them. I pray that nothing ever happens to me for their sake because I know how bad it would hurt them.
