Still thinking about you Duke and worried about your Mom...
Valerie I saw this poem, it reminded me of you...
From the silence of your pain I heard my name
and on the wings of light I have come
to see the sadness in your eyes
that cry without tears
Can you see me, I am here
I will always be near you
to calm your shattered heart
and to make you smile at the memories
Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur
You ache to believe it's real
but you are afraid to hope
You brush away a strand of hair
But it was I, whispering.....
I am only here for but a moment
The silver thread gently quivers
I will leave behind my love in a dream
When you awaken, and without really knowing why
Your heart will know at last
That it is all right, for now
to say good-bye

I just wish my heart would get the message. Of course, this made me cry. I haven't even vacuumed out the back seat of my car yet because his hairs are still there. It's been almost three weeks and I still feel as if it was just yesterday that he left me :(
-
I am sorry Val I didn't mean to make you cry...don't vacuum the car the heck with it...go back there and sit and cry if you need to. Strength isn't all its cracked up to be.

I had to come to the post office to pick up an insured package. It was your urn. The people told me they would email me before it was sent. They didn't. So I wasn't expecting it to be from them. I started crying before I even got out when I saw who sent it. Now, I sit in my car sobbing. They did such a great job on painting you. Mom had that vision of you welcoming Beauregard to the RB. I asked her why couldn't it have been me? I want to see you again so badly. I miss you so much.
-
I was afraid to read this thread, I knew how much he meant to you and how you always dread of his life nearly ended. sorry I didn't post in this sooner but know I have been thinking of you at times and times.. I just don't have words still, val. only ((((big humpback gentle hugs)))) to give. :)
sleep sweetly, dearest duke, I know you have been looking down at and saving a seat for your torn mom up there - but down here, I hope you will fill her heart with some signs soon - she misses you so much. rest in peace, old man.

It's a beautiful urn, they did a wonderful job. I know it still hurts every day, and there is no comfort yet, but honestly, I can see the light in his eyes in that painting they did of him and he is watching over you with all the love he always had when he was here.
-
Every time I read this thread I sit here sobbing, Val. What a special boy he was and such a wonderful part of your life. I know how hard it is for you to miss him so badly and there's nothing you can do about it. Who would ever imagine that your heart could ache so bad?
His urn is beautiful. They've done a miraculous job on it. It looks so much like him. It's one of the most incredible and fitting tributes I've ever seen.
I know Duke is smiling on you and feeling like a new man. Bless you, Val.

Missing You
I leave the house a lot these days. I'm out now. It's just too empty without you. I went to the SPCA yesterday and visited with some of the dogs. That made my heart lighter for a while. But now, all it feels is your absence. I wish I could make peace about you being gone. I feel as if my tears will never stop. I miss you, sweet doggie.

This has been a horrible time for you, Val. Duke's urn is just gorgeous.
I haven't been brave enough to bring out the beautiful wooden boxes that my Zipper, Murphy and Mimi are secured in. They are sitting safely in a closet, right now, all together. But we don't have their beautiful faces to look at, either.
Today was one year since our Murphy left us. I'm having a little problem with that memory, but I know that sweet girl is where she needed to be. I haven't even mentioned it to Scott (he is away). Wonder if he realizes the significance of today? :(
