Each of us face the loss of a pet in our own way. For those of us who consider our pets as a member of the family, the loss is even greater. A part of us is missing, the memories too fresh to really go on as if everything is 'normal'. There is an emptiness that is not easily filled nor do we think that it will EVER be filled.
Yet, in our darkest hour, at the time of our greatest despair, a cold nose or a purr makes our heart leap, and our souls soar. We learn to love again, and hug a new friend who reminds us of our old one, and has it's own gift to give and share.
That is my wish and my prayer for you.
