| Re: Life goes on
First off Skybird, I have to say you got me good with that poem, "Room in your heart", I can't stop the tears. It is so true. I also got another poem from here, "May I go now", and yet another which I can't think of right now. I just lost Ceasar too on the 15th of Oct and it is so fresh in my mind. Dparatt34 I am so sorry about Nikko too if I didn't write you at one point. I don't know if I did or not. One word of advice I have for you is as my friends have told me is. Nikko would not want you to be so hurt, and we need to try to go on and think of the good memories of them. I know my friend told me, Ceasar was more worried about me, how I was going to be then himself. Thats how these dogs are. The LOVE is so unconditional and sincere. Now today I wrapped Oynex's Halloween gifts, she is a blk/lab mix, 13 and she raised both my boys with me, Thor and Ceasar, and I had to look at Ceasars gifts too and I put them with his ashes and Thors, and just cryed, but it was ok to cry, it is part of the healing process. I saw a Rottie the other nite and I cried. As a matter of fact, I wrote in another tread, someone brought a female Rott 2 years old to be put down because the wife had 2 bad knees and the dog knocked her down to our vets office, they called me, it was too soon, but they found her a great home!!! She is with another dog and cat and the woman got (her),Molly, for her husband for his birthday, he always wanted a Rott. happy ending. The girl in the vets office, lost her female Rott Nila, last year and she still cries and is not ready. She was so upset about Ceasar. What I am getting at is timing!!! Nothing replaces what we have lost, nothing could, but we find it in our hearts to love again and we have enough room in our hearts to do that. Personally, I need more time, but eventually I will get another Rott, maybe 2, thats what I had, and I will just pray that my Thor and Ceasar will be watching over us and I will see them again. I need a few months for the fresh wound to heal, and then I can start thinking alittle straighter. One of my other friends gave me a dog/scrap/photo album a few christmas ago, and I think I am going to fill it with all the good pics and memories I have of the "FAMILY", all of us together and happy!!!!! Life goes on but we never forget what we have lost and we find room to love again". I hope this helps, and again I am very sorry for Nikko, I know exactly how you feel! Debbie  |
