Springtime

I've been missing my boy a lot lately, with the beautiful Spring weather upon us. It is still very difficult for me to walk out in our backyard, since that is where Tucker spent so much of his happy time. His "roly poly" spots in the grass are fading and being replaced with lush green grass, which makes me sad. I can't believe it's been almost 5 months since he left us. It seems like so much longer since I last felt his soft fur or heard him breathing. We have pictures of him all over our house, and his box of ashes is on the mantle above our fireplace. I can still feel his spirit all over the house.

I read a touching pet loss poem today and thought I would share it:


Why?
That's what we ask.
The truth is, we may never
be able to know for sure why.

But we do know that there is no single
"should have done"or "could have done"
or "did" or "didn't do"
that would have changed that why.

All that love could do was done.
