It has been 4 years today since you left me. You have now been gone from me longer than
you spent with me. Yet I have thought of
you, felt your absence and missed you terribly every one of those 1460
days. I still marvel at the impact one
small brindle hound has had on the life of a most unworthy human. If it is at all possible that I am a better
person now it is due to the things you taught me.
I never dreamt I could love something more than I loved
myself. And I never dreamt that your
absence could still hurt so badly. On
our last day together I told you that it was ok to go. That Mumma would be OK. I think you knew I was lying. My sweet girl, I still wait every day to be
OK.
The last lesson you’ve taught me is that true love never
dies.

Forever Mumma’s Sweet Pea
All of our hounds have a special forever place in our hearts! (my Emma's winter coat was made from that exact same rainbow fleece.)
ReplyDeleteWe can never forget our loved ones, Thanks for sharing with us the memories.
ReplyDeleteMy first Greyhound was a brindle princess, too, and all these years later, I still miss her. We've been very lucky to have such perfect first Greyhounds!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post. We got our very first greyhound in August and had to put our sweet girl to sleep on October 17. She was the perfect first greyhound (my very first dog). She will never be forgotten
