Slowly--slowly ---returning to normal-

OK--  The crying is stopping--The sadness  will continue-- Life must go on---so----  to-day I shall go on a banana run--- this morning-- Because it is minus 15C -(-COLD!) -I shall leave Himself at home-and LOPEZ---  and--it's HAIR DAY -----
Lory be--  One must be strong eh?---  Mom used to tell me, "No point crying over spilled milk"--but-He sure left a big hole in our home here---

I shall return---and one more thing--Thank you for all your messages yesterday--Slowly--slowly---- the tears are  diminishing---not stopping-----but-------better------Later then---

  1. Awwww, that meme is absolutely true. No matter we get to love them, it’s never long enough. Absolutely hey leave a HUGE hole in our hearts. I remember my Dad, 2 days before he passed, tole me he was proud of me. Said keep that fire in my belly. (I have!) And he said not to grieve for him (seriously? Not possible), but fill the hole in my heart w/precious good memories. THAT I have tried to do. It helps.

    Holy freezer! Your temperatures ARE cold!

    Stay safe on your banana run. Yes, best not to take Himself or Lopez with when it’s so bitter cold.

    Don’t be afraid of the tears. They are healing.

    Hugs

  2. Oh Lynda…just catching up on your last few blogs…Please know that my heart is with yours as you mourn the loss of dear, sweet Beau! I am so very sorry that you are going thru this; we’ve all been there and know the depth of sadness. It is okay to cry all you need to as you have lost a good friend …. Yes, the paw prints on your heart will remain for as long as you live! Sending love and hugs from Fl ❤️! (Eissa7) Karen

  3. It's okay to grieve. I think any of us who has had furbabies has had that one that truly knew us, who was there for us no matter what, and who claimed our soul. My kitty Sasha has been gone for 16 years, and I still tear up sometimes when I think of her. I place my hands over my heart and I can feel her with me. Beau was a gentle soul and he may have been that one to you. They never really leave us. Sending love and hope for comfort. / Leslie

  4. Brrrr! Drive safely to get those bananas, 'cause we need them, don't we?

    Grieve at your own pace, and it's no shame to have memories crop up at odd intervals.

  5. Oh, sis...the good memories will gradually take over.
    At least you have a favorite outing today. I am sure you'll get more support and love regarding your loss there.
    I trust Himself, Lopez and Sushi will be fine for a while without you.
    I had good news yesterday: I may not need gallbladder surgery after all! The doc did say to "limit the fried chicken."
    It's colder here today, also. Snowing very lightly and more to come tonight and on and off for a few days.
    After a huge, long day yesterday at the Veteran's Administration Hospital, Sadie won't do more than a few dishes and clean the litter box today.
    I am starting my daily banana again (if I don't have a potato) cuz my potassium was low the other day when I had to go to the ER. Sodium almost gone and calcium low, too. When I was younger, I ate whatever I wanted with no problems...well, except being overweight.
    Sigh.
    We'll both get through the day.
    Let me know if Beau comes back in spirit form to let you know he is ok and loves you. I've had one dog, one cat, my mom and my grandma do that. Through jumps on my bed, soft furry chin on my knee (at the dinner table), the smell of grandma's lily of the valley cologne, mama giving me answers to crossword puzzles, glimpses of a kitty standing guard...There really isn't death, honey, just a transition to Spirit.
    All for now. Hope I didn't start the tears flowing again. They are cathartic, though. Love and {{{HUGS}}} Maggie

  6. It's Kathy. Yes, life has to go on but my heart still hurts for you. I know you will miss Beau for a long time. Today is my daughter's Mediation - we are leaving shortly. I'm so worried. I know whatever happens will happen but I know how hard it will be on her! Enjoy your banana run and hair day!

  8. Hi Lynda, yes beloved fur babies leave a mark on our hearts. You will grieve and cry for however long it takes. Beau hasn't left you. You may see, feel or sense him in spirit form. For the longest time I swore I saw my beloved cat in the house.
    Gosh it's cold there. Best to leave the guys at home on banana trip. I do hope talking about Beau at hairdresser helps you know anyone who has lost a beloved friend, shares your loss and sorrow.
    Sending lots of hugs.
    Be safe.
    Hugs and blessings

  9. Hi Lynda: Glad you are starting to feel a bit better but there will still be a hole in your heart for a long time. At least you're doing some normal things today which will help. Happy hair day. Enjoy. And have a good night. Brenda
