I've been doing fine for several months, I am so busy with my daughter and of course little Magic! They are so cute together! I still wish Misty could have been here, but I have accepted that can never be.

I had a dream last night about Misty, we used to get up every morning and watch the Walton's beginning credits, and then Little House on the Prairie afte he had his breakfast and outside play. I had a dream he wagging his tail to the Walton's music and woke up very upset.

I just wanted to check here, as I know this is a place where people understand.

Thanks for listening.

Misty's Mama forever

Hi Radgirl, I completely understand where you are at, I get that kind of moments too, life goes on but there can be a trigger that brings us right back to the early days, and during those overwhelmingly sad moments, it is still so tender but at the same time, we do feel that the love is ever still there. Take care and may you more often be showered with happy moments because of that love.

Thanks Toonie, still missing the little guy and wanted to check in here again.Sometimes I still look for him in the garage and think of him when the house is quiet. I sometimes have months I have moved on, but I still come back to the grief. Sometimes we both feel like moving just to have a fresh start where we aren't reminded of him.....

Hugs Radgirl, how have you been? Other than the obvious, I have those days too.
I'm glad you checked in, and let us know you're alright.

Toonie is absoultely right. Triggers can lie dormant, and then kabammmm!
My little Zena girl, well she is 10yrs, is siting next to me while I'm typing this. She is the Calico you see in my thread, she loves to sit like a human. I try not to think about the day when she will no longer be with me.

I guess what i'm trying to say is that what you feel is very normal.

Take care

Those ouchy feelings do come and go.
They grab you when you least expect them.
Sometimes you feel your heart has all the holes plugged up, and one springs a leak. It will happen. When your heart can't leak anymore then it has become too hard, and no one wants that.
Trust in your feelings that the ouchy will heal, and hopefully when the next leak occurs it will bring a smile, not a tear.
this is the place to come. Take care

I do understand completely what a bad day feels like when it hits, especially if I haven't had a bad day in awhile.

When I was on vacation recently, I found myself enjoying the warm sun, relaxation, and peace of mind. As I was taking a walk on the beach, I saw a woman walking her chihuahua. They were both enjoying each others company completely. Her chihuahua had a lei around his neck and it triggered a memory I have of my Goliath wearing a lei at a luau. I completely broke down for the entire day. The other 13 days were good days for me.

This is definately the place I come when I need understanding. I am so thankful for the individuals who come here to share and care. It is here where we carry each other thru the good times as well as the bad times.

Hugs to you Amy
