Just wow, Gel. That brought big tears again but only because these were such wonderful, heartfelt words! So true, so meaningful.I would hit the disagree button but I don't want to tarnish your rep.
I consider you a friend, Tad.
So lets get this right.
Don't ever apologize to me again for writing something heartfelt and genuine.
This section is a place to mourn and to remember. It's also a place where your friends can help, share , cry or mourn with you.
There's a healing process that needs to happen. I can feel it happening.
My mornings are hell, but I'm getting better. The last couple if days I've managed to get up, go feed Rocky, and start the day without tears.
Well, until I read your post. But in my emotional state it seems I'm not only shedding a few tears for Daisy but a few for you as well.
It's my hope that people who read this, be they a regular here or someone who just discovered this site can somehow take comfort, or relate. Perhaps reading this some newbie can feel a little more comfortable presenting his or her story. That could help them start their own healing.
Crying and sharing is a part of that healing process.
So again, never apologize for that.
As you've shared, the unresolved stuff can crop up at the worst times. I know, I've been bottling my emotions my entire life.
That changed October 2nd, 2016
I will never be the same again.
I woułd like to think Daisy made me a better person, I know for a fact she's made me a more empathetic person. She opened up something in me I can't close back up.. I know I will never forget her.
The day after my mom died, my neighbor walked over with an orchid. The moment I saw her, sobbing started. She hugged me tight and said, "Crying is good for you." I think it is.
