My beloved dog died almost one year ago. I just can't believe it's been that long now. Time is going so fast and it really shocks me how fast it's going. I just got so busy working and living my life and it's been a year of not having a dog. It really snuck up on me in a way. I feel bad in that some days I don't even think of my dog because I am busy. Soon, he will have been gone 2 years, 5 years, 10 years and he will be a distant memory of long ago like the dogs I loved in my childhood. That is sad for me. But then the good news is I am getting closer and closer to being reunited with all of them as time goes on and I get older.
Wait for Mommy, Boo Boo. We will be together again one day soon.

Time goes by so fast sometimes, its hard to believe. Tomorrow will be 2 months since I lost my Alley and it seems like it was just yesterday sometimes.

My thoughts are with you on this sad anniversary.

I guess the other "good news" is that you HAVE been living your life, and that is, of course, what Boo-Boo would be happy to see. And maybe he won't become "a distant memory of long ago" but remain a vital part of who you have become because of him and your life together. Not that the sorrow won't likely lessen more, too in time, but you'll still be that much closer to that reunion in spirit as well. Our time as adults is often quite different than our time from youth, so I don't think your experience of the memory of him will be the same as those from your childhood. And how could they be anyway? Each love is unique, as is each loss and what they mean to you, and how you experience them.

So I think you and Boo-Boo will remain as bonded in love as you always were, with each of you looking forward to that glorious melding of souls, with time of no consequence once you're together again.

(someone MAY have to remind me of this myself, though, once I hit that one-year anniversary next summer!)
