I know it has been ages since this happened but it's just as moving and beautiful now. My heart still goes out to you over a year later.

My little dog Olimpya is about to pass in the next few days..<br />Aunt Syd told me I should read this...thank you for caring about your boy. it makes me feel a little less crazy for loving my little girl so much. sometimes i feel like my body is weightless from my lack of emotion. But at least I was blessed to have a few days to hold her.

I went through this process not but three weeks ago; and while I'm sure our bonds with our companions, sons, siblings, or whatever we see them as are very unique, I want to thank for putting to words a feeling I could not articulate. This helped make some sense of things for me. I hope that you were able to help yourself the same way.<br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521359318319157548.post-8215815532728107062011-07-26T12:21:49.738-07:002011-07-26T12:21:49.738-07:00I'm sorry for your loss.I'm sorry for your loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521359318319157548.post-24625978384813375192011-07-20T01:59:54.997-07:002011-07-20T01:59:54.997-07:00I'm so sorry you are going through this.

I wish I and Jess could reach across the miles and share our love, but it seems you have plenty around you now. <br /><br />I would share a story, an anecdote, but I have none. My loses have never been like yours so I don't feel qualified to try to bandage the wound with words. I will tell you that while the flowers petals are dropped the spring will come. The seeds will sprout with the petals to nourish them. And as surely as spring comes summer will follow. Always remember that and the winter will be much less cold.AriesGhostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521359318319157548.post-72816464365663837402011-07-18T22:16:26.097-07:002011-07-18T22:16:26.097-07:00my condolences. i started to tear up at the end. y...my condolences. i started to tear up at the end. you've always had a powerful way with words.Bretthttp://www.facebook.com/brett.mcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521359318319157548.post-48666953330924518592011-07-18T19:23:14.129-07:002011-07-18T19:23:14.129-07:00I just wanted you to know I read this and felt it....I just wanted you to know I read this and felt it.
