So many things

[alfina]

Tuesday is going to be a month since Rumble went over the bridge. I'd like to thank you all for your nice words and support. Janet, you really touched my heart.

There is not a day go by that something doesn't remind me about Rumble. I was trimming the crew and Sabrina's paws were very unevenly trimmed. Started thinking about what happened and why and then realised that I couldn't finish her trim last time because Rumble had collapsed. Our lawn guy noticed that our lawn is improving by the porch. Well, that's because Rumble no longer destroys it. Every time I eat an apple, I think of him because Rumble LOVED apples and I'd always share it with him. And every time I went to a dog show in the last month, bulldogs were showing right next to us.

I need to get the dog nail trim done and it again reminds about that day when he collapsed. The last month has been so long and so hard. I try to work as hard as I possibly can handle without collapsing. I try to be strong but the truth is I miss him so much. I question every day if there was something else I could have done for him.

Natasha is doing better. We talk about Rumble and funny stories about him. She is working on her biography project and chose this piture of Rumble for her My Pets section. He looks like a seal in it.

:hug99: :hug99: :hug99: I am so sorry for your loss! Somehow I missed all of this with the extra work I took on recently.

I lost a family member too soon, but the person made sure I understood, "no guilt, no regrets." Please do not be too hard on yourself. Sure you can be strong, but if you didn't cry I would be worried about you!! We are all here for you 24/7. I would love to hear some funny stories about Rumble someday.

:rayz: :rayz: :rayz: Sending you rayz and hugs!

When I lost my Pebbles in 2001, I felt the same way that you do. I kept thinking I should have known something was wrong. I should have done more. I cried my eyes out for months. There will be little things that will trigger thoughts of Rumble for you and that's okay. It's okay to be sad about Rumble. He was your love and your heart and you lost him. Your :heartbk: is broken. With time it will mend and the pain that you feel now willl become sweet sorrow. I know that right now it feels like that will never happen. It will with time.

I'm glad that Natasha is doing better with her loss. It can be very hard for children as well as adults. They feel things differently, but no less strongly.

As Renee said, we're here for you 24/7. Please call on us anytime that you want to.

The pain does get better over time and the memories gets sweeter with time.

BTW that is a wonderful pciture of the two of them.

I just wanted to offer my support. I'm so sorry for your loss. Continue to be strong, but like Renee said, there's nothing wrong with crying for your baby. :hug99:

I don't know what to say. I wish there were something that I could do or say that would ease yours and your family's pain. Please know my thoughts are with you all, Olga. :gphug1:
