My love,
Today you would have turned 17. I honestly never had the breath to hope for 17 years with you, although I know there are some dogs that do live to that age. Still, the fact you are not here saddens me. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of you and Delilah and shed at least a few tears. Life here is lonely without you. I’m lost with no sense of purpose. Blogging no longer brings me joy, though I feel compelled on birthdays and death dates to push myself to write. There are no more new photos, no puppy kisses, cuddles or walks.
More than anything I wish Heaven had visiting hours, but then again, I’d probably never leave you.
Happy Birthday my sweet boy, I will always be grateful you chose me for your Mama.
I wish I wish I could give you a big old hug. I think we need an online support group for those of us who have lost a pet. It is so hard to move on, even with a new dog entering our lives.
It’s been 3 years since I lost Daisy and Jasper and I still think of them daily. I still cry on occasion and still wish I could have them back. They were my life, just like Sampson and Delilah were yours. It’s hard to want to blog after their loss. I get that too.
All I can say Jodi is I love you and understand your pain and loss. May we both find peace in our hearts.
Hugs to you. Mom knows your pain all too well. Emma’s “days” are coming up and it makes her so very sad. It is hard to get over losing a dog but some deaths are just so much harder than others.
I, too, wish I could give you a big hug. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of and miss Callie and Shadow; and, yes, Radar too. Other than that, I’m at a loss for words except to say that I love you; and hope that you can find some peace and comfort in your memories of Sampson and Delilah.
sending you much love and many (((hugs))) I totally get it. Blogging is more of a chore for me since Cody and Dakota passed…..I get times when I feel like posting but I am on no set schedule. I feel bad that July 28th would have been Cody’s 14th Gotcha Day and I just couldn’t bring myself to blog about it. I guess the fact that I remembered for myself is more important. Wish I could give you a giant hug xoxo
I am so sorry, Jodi, it’s just not fair they can’t be with us forever. It will never not be hard as your love for Sampson will never end. Sending you all of the love and wishing you some comfort in your happy memories of your dear, special friends.
The tears never cease, do they? These special heart dogs remain in our hearts forever despite their physical presence being a mere memory. Sending loving thoughts of comfort your way. 💙
Hugs from all of us and Happy Birthday at the Bridge Angel Sampson.
Sending big hugs and love…..♥
