    October 1st is the 3 year anniversary of Ooky\’s death. 3 years and I still cry when I look at her pictures or watch video of her. The pain of loss never seems to go away. I lost her sister Doodlebug last May and her Aunt, Missy last June they were all blood related and all died from untreatable cancer.
    I miss them so very much.

      Sally, I still choke up when I see pictures of my dear old Squirt, and she’s been gone decades. The love doesn’t go away, and while the acute pain fades, a little pain and melancholy accompanies the memories of all the wonderful times we shared. You have lost so many loves in such a short period, it’s undertsandable that you are moved to tears. It’s okay to cry – in fact, it helps clear toxins from our bodies. Anniversaries stir up strong emotions, too and I encourage you to join our group meeting Sep. 24th in anticipation of Ooky’s. A nice suggestion from one of our members: in addition to marking the anniversary of the date of parting, celebrate the date of birth or adoption! I think that’s lovely and hope that brings you a bit of comfort. We’ll be here for you. {{HUGS}} Toni
