....I LOST a world the other day. Has anybody found? You ’ll know it by the row of stars Around its forehead bound. ... emily dickinson
the rhythms of the house are different. i need an alarm clock, there is no soft bark to wake me, no morning company as i drink coffee and read the paper. this morning as i got ready for work, i sat down in the recliner and purposely watched the am news with marshall and mindy as we did so many saturday ams before i went to work and he went back to bed. this afternoon, it's sunny and cool, and eileen, peanut and i will go to the park, then for a coffee and i'll carry kleenex and dark glasses. my heart hurts, and i miss alex.

(((Hugs))) It is a real hurt ,felt in the deepest part of the heart.
We know & understand it. As others have said, it never goes away, but it
does ease with time. I still don't speak much of my Buddy, I just cannot do
it without tears. Prayers for comfort in your time of sadness & loss.

Same here, Joyce. In a few days it will be 9 months since we lost Sherman, and my heart aches every time I think about him being gone. The "surreal" edge wears off, but missing them never goes away. That's because love never ends.

I am so sorry to hear about Alex. RIP Alex and play hard at the bridge.

I smile at my pups when they are so contently asleep on the couch or big bed - safe, happy and warm.

Dear Joyce, I am so profoundly sorry for the loss of your beloved Alex. Oh how deep the void is, and nothing makes the hurt ebb away. It cuts so deep, and I can feel the depth of it in your words. I am holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.

Bless you dear Alex, for being the companion of a lifetime. Watch over your mom and siblings. Let them know you are close by and always will be.
