Sherman's Memorial thread

[loveallfurryfriends]

It is sometimes so hard to read these posts, b/c I cry whenever I do. The pain of losing our furry family members never really goes away. Each of them is so special!!! Please do not edit your posts, we all know the way you feel. It is heartbreaking for me to read about your beautiful Sherman, but know that we are all here for you. <<<<HUGS>>>>.

Dorothy, the heart has no expiration date on mourning, thanks for thinking of Sherman.
I let the third month anniversary of his passing slip by quietly, as the pain of his loss suddenly seemed so fresh again. That sudden awareness of his absence that pops up unbidden in one moment or another still catches me off-guard. It still doesn't seem possible he's gone forever. I so miss his handsome face, he always looked contented and peaceful. I know he's at peace now, but I wish he was still just sleeping in the other room.

I don't think we ever get over losing them, they're such a part of us.

Dorothy, the heart has no expiration date on mourning~

How very well phrased cyber-sibes~Your Sherman has become a part of US!!

I guess it's just a matter of accepting their passing and learning that sorrow and joy can walk in hand~It's hard work~But the job pays well!!!

All if us here on The Memorial Thread tend to hold onto each other when the floor seems to fall out from under our feet!!!

Nov. 10, unbelievabele, but its been 4 months since Sherman went to the Bridge. I posted a rememberance to my boy on our blog today:
To ShermanI know many of you miss him too. He was such a sweetheart.

I helped Toby to the bridge 1 month and 4 days before you helped our sweet Shermie. I remembered how fresh the hurt was of loosing Toby when we lost him, it made the pain come back and added to it the loss of your sweet boy.

I'm glad they, as newbies to the bridge, had each other to hang out with until they both learned their way around and met other RB PT pets.

Pat, I want you to know that I think of Sherman often (you, JoJo and Star too). My screen saver at work is a slide show of pictures and I have a few Sherman pictures in there so I see him often.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

Edit...OMG, I'm bawling after reading your beautiful post on your blog.

Oh Pat, your tribute & memories of Sherman were beautifully written.
Thanks for posting the blog link. I loved your sweet comments on Anna
also. ( I had not seen her picture for awhile)

Sherman was not only a handsome fella, but the sweetest dog I've ever
met. I'm so glad I got to meet him in person. I know he was a heart
dog for sure.

Thinking of you and Sherman. I know the holidays will be difficult. I hope you can find joy, as well, this Christmas.

Hello Sherman,

I just want to tell you again how much I miss you. I think of you every day. Our mom & dad miss you too, I try to comfort mom when she gets very very sad. I can always tell cause she'll wrap her arms around me (you know how I feel about that!) and whimper like a puppy.

I do want o thank you for sending Jack our way, even if he is mostly annoying. I finally got him to understand I'm the alpha around here, so things are better between us. I think you would like him too, you two would have the entire yard dug up in no time!

Jack is okay, but I sure miss playing with you!

I know that you drop by once in a while, and knowing I'll be with you again when its my time makes your absence a little easier to bear.

Sweetest wooos,
Star

Sweet Shermie, I hope you get this on da Bridge. You are still much missed and I am glad I got to meet you through PT and your blog, and there are some lucky ones who even met you in person. You blessed us sweetie. We miss woo. Please ask God to comfort your mom's heart.

I know how painful this is during the holidays. You will be in my thoughts.

Oh Shermie... seeing that picture of you and your sister playing in the snow made my eyes leak.

{{{HUGS}}} to you all!!

Good morning, Sherman! Woke up and realized that today is your 5th birthday! I hope there's a party going on at the RB, complete with pupcakes & Frosty Paws! I will be sure to give Star & Jack an extra special dinner & treat today, in your honor. Wish you were here so I could give you a great big hug & a smooch in person, dear boy! Happy Birthday, Sherman!
Love, your Mom
