Helena,
I'm teary eyed reading this... I can "almost" feel your pain. No words of wisdom..., no advice..., just sending you the very BIGGEST!!! virtual hug. It SUCKS!!!, TUTTAM!!!
My very favorite fur baby has been gone since May 1, 2015. Sometimes it feels like she's been gone forever, but other times it feels like it just happened yesterday. I still love her and miss her with all my heart... I always will.
I still get teary eyed looking at pictures of her... especially pictures of her wearing her hot pink life preserver, standing on her back paws, her front paws on top of one of the sides of the boat, looking out over the ocean... the wind blowing her long white and yellow fur, her long furry tail wagging excitedly behind her, her big floppy ears, one sticking up straight...
Whenever we asked her if she wanted to go for a boat ride, she would excitedly run to the back door, scratching at it with one of her paws, until one of us opened it for her. She would run outside, quickly squat in the grass, (she learned from a very young age to go before she got on the boat, a story for another time, if I remember with this foggy widow brain, lol...), and as soon as one of us opened the door to the back seat, she had to be the first one in, afraid she might get left behind... (not a chance!!!, TUTTAM!!!, lol...) She went on every single boating adventure with us...
Those were some of the very best days in my life... Being on that boat, just the six of us..., Bob, our three children, and our very favorite fur baby... Looking back, I took way too many of those days for granted. If only I knew then, what I know now... I would have treasured every single second of those way beyond wonderful summer days... Even the time our very favorite fur baby, just a puppy, tried to hold it, but couldn't. She politely squatted at the very back of the boat,right against the door, but the kids were back there and barefoot. Enough said, lol...!!! Although the kids didn't find it funny at the time, this became one of those "remember when's" that always got the five of us hysterically laughing....
I miss those over the top wonderful summer days... I miss Bob... I miss my very favorite fur baby... with all my heart. I need a tissue...
I just kicked the F*CK!!! out of Mr. Grief,, not just for me, but for all of TGW. Hoping I kicked him hard enough so that he'll be unconscious for awhile, unable to bother us, allowing us to get just a little bit of peace... It SUCKS!!!
However, just think how miserable life would be if we never fell deeply in love, how shallow our existences would be. Without true love, grief wouldn't exist, but, and this is one of those really BIG!!! BUTS!!!, our lives would be so very empty..., so very beige... (Thanks Lou for sharing one of Linda's expressions with us, which I've adopted and can't seem to stop saying. Love it!!!, TUTTAM!!!)
Deb, Good Morning, I'm so glad to read your experience with your favorite furry baby. Our extended furry family always bring their unconditional love. unfortunately when their time comes, we'll miss them but we remember their cuteness and mischief, nice memories to have! HB
Thank for kicking the unwelcome intruder Mr. G.
