My dear Luba, my "Little Dog",

When I look back to June 5th, 2004 it was inconceivable to me that todays date, June 5th, 2007 would ever even take place. One day without my girl seemed impossible, let alone one week, one month. Forget one year. That was impossible.

Well, now here we are, three years later. I've learned that one some level, every day will always be June 5th 2004. That day will be with me forever. Yet, I take comfort in the fact that while you were taken from me early, my Falkor has defied all the odds in his medical prognosis. He wasn't expected to last much past your time, but my God, he is still with me. The vets have called him a miracle. It was truly the reverse of your medical situation. You were expected to live. Live is so unpredictable. I'm so happy to still have him in my life.

Days after you passed, I composed the following little verse:

Every night, as I fall asleep,
My sadness runs a bit less deep.
For I've moved closer, by one day.
To when you and I, again will play.

I am now 1,095 days closer.

G'day Steph,

What a beautiful photo. Not just the subject but the lovely colours ..and the typical doggy happiness in Luba's face.
A very huggable looking pooch indeed. I hope you still talk to Luba. I find that so comforting.

I love your little poem too.


kind regards

Doggy Daddy. Andew.

I love the way you think, it's true that each day brings us closer to the day we will be together again what a GREAT WAY OF THINKING,what a GREAT POEM! Hope you get a lot of positive vibes from Luba who must be your muse. Take care.

I just wanted you to know that "little verse" you composed really helps me. It makes me cry but it gives hope also. My Parker died almost 2 years ago and like you said in my heart it will always be "that day".......but you are right every day I am a little closer to being with him again.......I hope. Thanks.

Parker's Mom,
Kerry

Just wanted to let you know you and Luba are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time of year.
Steve

Dear Steph,

This is beautiful..I will never forget Luba either.....you and the rest of our community have changed my personal grief to one of hope and a feeling of never having to be alone with it ever again....thinking of you and Luba and understanding the love and spiritual spirals that we live in this life without those we have loved to physically touch us ever more..yet stronger in the hearts....thank you for the tribute to Luba...

Love,
Kathryn
