Chris

Chris, when I said goodbye to my girl, I felt good knowing she was at peace. She was old and had become quite unwell. But, when I walked in the house the emptiness and reality hit me hard. It does take time and the pain lessens. Do you think it was best for him that he was not sick for long? Better than a drawn out illness? Ten years, a hundred…it’s never long enough. We never will forget them, and I am grateful for the time we shared, as I suspect you are. It’s good to hear your update and I hope you continue to let us know how you are doing. And thank you for so kindly sharing your own support with others. It’s why we are here. Please come to our next group meeting June 15th. It’s good to talk among understanding people. Sending you a {HUG}. Toni

What a sweet face he has! I know how you wait for them to show up where they used to be! When I would drive up to my house my cat Drew would welcome me. He could hear I was coming from the sound of my car! It’s been 3 years and I still for a split second expect him to sit there waiting for me. But now I think more about how cute and funny he was. And your boy is safe now, no aches or pains due to age or illness. Sometimes I think we are courageous to give our hearts away again and again because we know it’s not forever. But the time we have with them is precious and stays with us. All the memories and stories. I hope you have support to help heal your heart, a friend or your family. And you have this group. Talking about them helps. Sending good wishes!
