Destiny and I a year ago |
When will it not hurt so much anymore? When will the
tears stop flowing when I’m wide awake late at night? When will I be able to
come home and not feel the extreme hurt when she’s not there to greet me, with
the other dogs?
She was so much more than a dog. She was a major part of
our family. I remember the day we got her, just as vividly as I remember the
births of my human babies.
I also remember the feel of that tumor, the sounds she
made when breathing, the way she had such a hard time moving around….
I remember everything. I still hear the noises she made, from time to
time.
It’s hard to feel this much sadness, all the time. Often
trying to hide just how sad I feel. Saying goodbye to her was one of the
hardest goodbyes I’ve ever been through, and I’m still trying to get through
it. I’m just not doing a very good job of it yet I guess.
