One week from today
My Sweet Dog,
I am thinking of you today, as always. It’s been a week since you’ve been gone but my heart still doesn’t want to believe it’s true. Every time I lay my head on my pillow, I’m hoping I’ll dream of you. At least that way, you could still be with me. Molly is helping but there’s no way she can cure all the hurt. My heart and soul will never be the same. I love you, sweet Duke. May the angels hug and kiss you for me. May you feel the love from them that you felt from me. I’m still not ready to let go of you completely. I know it will come in time but I don’t want to see you gone forever from my life.
Missing You,
Mama
Going to sleep now to try and dream of you.
******************************************************************************************************************
Written this morning as I’m on nights. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine going another day without you. I miss you so much.

My song to Duke.
Everything I Own by Bread
You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way,
And I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that cant let go.
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
Is there someone you know,
Youre loving them so,
But taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And they dont hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
great background and i love the bubbles!

Thanks for your note. I can’t tell you how much I share this hurt for you. I suppose I always knew you & Duke shared a special relationship. For some reason, I worried about you losing him a long time ago because I knew how much you loved each other. He was your best buddy & got you through some tough times. A divorce I think? I’ve always had dogs & pets & I have lost several over the years, of course. That emptiness & hurt is so darned overwhelming. A piece of your heart dies when you lose a pet. I’m glad you realize that it will improve with time. It will. God gives us that strength. It’s the cycle of life. It is so bittersweet. I will continue to think of you & pray for your healing & strength through this difficult time. xoxoxo

the grief you feel will ease as time passes but i’m sure you are in terrible pain right now since the loss is so new and fresh. it’ll take time and you take all the time you need to grieve his loss. my husband still gets tears in his eyes over the loss of his cat and it’s been nearly a year since she left us. take care,

It’s all right – you grieve how you want to grieve. I remember this Bread song vividly. It’s the perfect song. Duke’s spirit is still with you and will never, ever leave. I know those are just empty words now; but in time, you will understand. Meantime, I join you in your grief.

I learned of your loss through Pintador. Wanted to let you know that I recently experienced the loss of a most beloved dog (six weeks today) and am keeping you close in thought. (((HUGS)))
