thank you!

Dear Jen -- here is a poem I turn to quite often to help with grief. Sometimes it makes sense, but there are times when it doesn't. During those times I just keep reading it until it makes sense again...

"I am standing on the sea shore. A ship sails and spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean. She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her till at last she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says 'she is gone.' Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all; she is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not her; and just at the moment when someone at my side says 'she is gone;' there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout, 'there she comes,' and that is Dying."

oh, sweetie... i wish i could hug you and make you feel better.

*bear hug*

*Big Hugs* It will get easier.. but even 15yrs later I occasionally find myself with tears running down missing my dog... they go but never ever really leave us. I promise!

I borrowed Clyde on Tuesday, and he watched over her well.
Love you.
