[Barb and Raven]

I too understand about time.
Raven has been gone just nine months now and I still have nights after going to bed when I get tears in my eyes thinking of her. There has not been one day gone by that she isn't in my mind. I think some of it is that she passed away in my bedroom not long before I had come home from work. I was not there with her when she passed away. Not there to hold her and tell her goodbye and how much I love her. Yes, I told her every day that I loved her and every time before I leave the house whether for work or whatever I always have and still do tell all of my dogs goodbye and that I love them. Because of that I know those were the last words she heard from me. But it is still that I could not hold her when her time came. I tell myself that my Brandy was there in the bedroom with her at the time even though I don't know if she was.
Yes, I understand how you feel just as the others who have lost their precious furbabies.
