Thanks, C - I can't believe it either. I still miss her and I also feel grateful that she is not dealing with the getting down and not being able to get up on her own. It's so easy to just miss her spirit and forget that her body was getting old.
How are you and Val? I keep checking for updates and am so eager to know how you both are.
A, it is so true. She is just part of us now, and when I dig deep I feel that. Just now I felt the sensation of her physical presence, her massive shoulders, her power, that black sheen of her coat. A little gift to feel her that way again.
It's interesting - I have been having visceral sensing of her all day - the way her empty eye socket felt when I hugged her was the most recent sensation. I could feel it in my right hand. Tomorrow is the actual anniversary of her death, and I wonder if these senses are coming to comfort me. Crying even as I type this.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment - I love reading them and respond as often as I can. I also love comments that add to the original post, so feel free to share your own experiences, insights, and thoughts.
A lovely post billie - deeply touching.

Hard to believe it's a year - but then she'll be with you forever.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Kate. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteLovely post billie. It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Her physical body may be gone but her spirit will live within your heart forever.

ReplyDeleteWhen I read your latest comment, I could see her right there, coat gleaming in the sunlight!
