It has been 2 weeks and 1 day since he left us, I am at my grandparents house tonight, where Herbie once lived. We brought my puppy over, and I went to put some water in his water bowl, not realizing it wasn't there. That was a horrible moment, just staring at the empty space where his water bowl should be, filled with ice water. The house feels so empty, not having him here. I keep thinking oh maybe he is just sleeping on the couch, I miss him alot, this is the first time I have cried in a week, I knew I would, and tommorow staying here without his sleeping a foot away from me at all times will be unbearable. I miss the times he would scratch at the guest door so he could sleep on the bed in there, and I would wake up and put him on the bed, just so he was happy, and the times he would have the bursts of playfulness and act like a clueless puppy. I swore I heard the noise he makes when he dreams a few minutes ago, but it must have been a mistake.

Hi, Tori
I know how hard it is....the wound is still so raw, and - although it's healing - there are those heartbreaking moments of realization that tear it open again.
I hope you're feeling a little bit better today...and remember, Herbie's spirit will always be in your heart...so he'll never be far away.

Take care of yourself, sweetie

I know how hard it is...I miss my Jack so much it physically hurts (just lost him last Wed). I keep thinking I see or hear him throughout the house, I'll remember things that I hadnt thought of in years...things that make me smile. We need to remember the small things, their funny little quirks, it's what made them *them*.

I hope you take comfort in knowing that your beautiful fur-baby brought you a lot of joy and wonderful memories. Though we'd like to have our angels back home with us, no one can take away our memories.

Oh Tori,

I am so sorry about your heartbreak!!

Remember that even now, sweet Herbie knows how much you love him. In the realm he's in, there's only bliss and he doesn't have to experience the heartbreak you're going through, because you're still in your physical body.

You will be fully reunited one day. Until then, you will go on, with support, and maybe some day Herbie will even send you someone else who needs your love.

Prayers and understanding,

Kathy
