Beloved Duke is at RB...

I am sitting here in tears. I don't know what to say. What does someone say to something like this? I am so sorry.

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 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?
