Since you’ve been gone, it seems like just a few minutes have gone by. I’m still in shock at the pace and direction things went, such a rapid pace for such a little guy.
Since you’ve been gone,
there is no where I can turn and
not feel your presence.
Since you’ve been gone, I’ve sought out healing via the music that I love only to find that there are so many songs have you and I danced to.
Since you have been gone I’ve come to realize the total strength of your ‘mighty-ness’ little Max. As tiny as you were you could make things move. You had the power to make things happen,
to call attention, to bring love.
Since you’ve been gone I’ve taken review of family times and have found that day in day out you were a centering and crucial part of our daily lives. No matter where we were, which coast, or mountain or
ocean you were there.
Since you’ve been gone, I’ve had much time for reflection of how I’ve always thought of you as a “mighty” little guy. I feel the definition describes you perfectly;
might•y (mī’tē)
adj., -i•er, -i•est.
1 : possessing might : POWERFUL
2 : accomplished or characterized by might
3 : great or imposing in size or extent : EXTRAORDINARY
You may have been a 12 pound Toy Poodle but you were always my Mighty Max. Sturdy little fellow with a loving personality so kind and dear, you couldn’t help but love and be loved.
From the moment we saw you and brought you home we knew our lives would never be the same. As time went by and things in the house changed you choose to stay close, you became my shadow, by choice, never very far away at any time.
Since you’ve been gone, I find that I miss you so very much my warm fuzzy. You gave such a special kind of love and showed
how to give love in return.
Since you’ve been gone, I am learning that despite the pain of loss I know that it will be ok to one day look forward to sharing happiness, pleasure, and joy, with a new and unique animal companion.
Since you’ve been gone, I’ve learned that I need accept things as they are and that I can reach out to the future less fearful of pain.
Since you’ve been gone, I again realize that it is an unfortunate fact that one of the prices we pay for loving so deeply is to suffer deeply when the bonds are broken.
Since you’ve been gone, I understand that we’re the only ones who know how much you meant to us, we’re the only ones who can measure how very much we’ve lost.
Since you’ve been gone, I endeavor to pick up the pieces and carry on in your mighty spirit. I know there will be good days and bad days as this is a normal part of the cycle of life.
I will survive and endeavor
to be the person my dog thought I was. 😉
Love,
