Still a day doesn't go by that I don't think of Tess though. I miss her still, but it has gotten some easier. My son and daughter in law took a picture of her and had a portrait made of her for my birthday. I cried when I opened it. Not sure if I can put it up just yet. She liked when the weather turned cooler and loved when the leaves fell. She was such a good girl.

I needed to read this today as well. I don't count the months anymore because once I do it for Belle a few weeks later I'll have to do it again with General. I miss them terribly. So I understand missing your sweet Tess. Everytime my heart is heavy, I come here to my friends who understands the pains that I face.

Special hugs and prayers to you.

I'm sorry you're hurting, I know what you're going through. It was 8 months on the 18th for us that we lost our boy. Like you, we think of him everyday, miss him everyday and a day doesn't go by that we don't wish he was still with us. The only thing that helps us is knowing he is no longer in pain or suffering. We were blessed with 15.5 wonderful years with him and are grateful for the love and all the memories that will live with us forever.

What a wonderful gift your son and daughter in law gave you-I know you will cherish this portrait of your beautiful Tess forever. I hope time will ease your pain and will find both peace and comfort knowing she is whole and healthy once again waiting for you to join her.

Saturday will be one year for me.:(
It gets easier, but always hurts.

I was cleaning off my network drive today and found a file named "Little dog 10-2004". It Copper's first picture when I rescued him. He didn't even have a name yet, hence the little dog title (He was smaller than the golden I had at the time). I cried some tears over that picture and some over this post too.

They just nestle into our hearts and souls and leave a little hurt behind when they go. A lot of smiles and wonderful memories:), but a little pain too.:smooch:

I can't believe it's been that long. She was such a sweet, special girl.

Beyond the Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

I have a feeling we never get over the loss of our special friends. It's been only a little over two weeks since we lost Bo. I miss him so much. I just take comfort in the fact that he is with Tess and all of his other Golden friends playing and getting into mischief just like old times.

We just past 5 months anniversary, next month would be Buddy's 10th birthday. When we love hard, we hurt hard.
I am sorry for your loss.
