I can barely bring myself to write it, but my firstborn, Lua Brems, has shuffled off this mortal coil.

We have been relatively quiet about Lua’s passing because we wanted to mourn her privately before opening up to friends & family. I haven’t had the strength to speak about her passing or organize a celebration of life. If you’ve noticed you haven’t heard from me for the last six months, that’s the reason why. I’ve never been an adult without her and I don’t know how.

She was a firecracker up until the very end. You could never have told me that our camping trip last September (that the second main pic is from) would be our last. She left us two weeks later. After fifteen beautiful years traveling across the globe (literally all the way to Africa and back...like a champion), always the most popular girl in every town.

I’m so grateful that the universe, somehow, improbably, put us together. Me, having just turned 18 and fresh off the plane (in North Carolina) from Peru and a little, 8-week-old angel puggle from Missouri. Then, incredibly, Lua found her dad several (7?) years later in Jim/Rhode Island.

Furthermore, I feel blessed beyond measure to have been able to hold her head in my hand, look her in the eyes, and tell her how proud I am of her and what she means to me before she passed. I also know she wasn’t in any pain.

I humbly ask that you please join me on this platform in sharing memories of Lua, celebrating her & loving her on this page, if you feel inspired to do so. I am so grateful to anyone who shares a comment, memory, or photo of my baby. I think about her all the time and will continue to update this little memorial. She loved her friends so, so much.

I appreciate my friends’ patience with me while I navigate this new reality.

My “Little Moon” is back among the stars. I’ll spend the rest of my life looking for her in them.

Love,

Romey
