The sun is shining but not in my heart. Totally despondent about losing Suzy. Think I still see her in the house. Lying in the foyer, by my side at every meal, waiting to lick the plate. Now, I just rinse it off and get a Kleenex.
For, we had a connection you only read about in fairytales. Of loyalty and trust, faith and grace. It doesn't matter who or what you love. If it's reciprocal and deep, it's meaningful and memorable for the rest of your life. It doesn't matter that she's a dog to me and I'm a person to her.
We had and will always have a connection that valued our mutual existance and demonstrated, at every moment, our deep and abiding love for one another. And that's one in a million. Once in a lifetime. IF you're very lucky.
Not seeing that darling face, knowing her watchful eye was ever upon me, feeling totally loved and protected, and now feeling her loss is almost more than I can bear. I go on, because she would want me to. She would want me to go on, not be sad forever and move on. And because of my respect and love for Suzy, I will try. Each day, I will try.
