If I had the choice of erasing you completely from my memory, or carrying this grief the rest of my life, I would choose the grief. I would choose you. I would choose the love, dreams and hope you brought us. Our precious shooting star. Miss you.

Humming bird, sitting in your nest.
May you thrive.

Miss you still. Always will.

The RAV

Said goodbye to our RAV today. 27 years, 450,000 km, countless adventures. Here she is in her prime, at Pine to Palm 2010.

Pupper

Not here but everywhere,
Not now but always,
Alone but never lonely,
Never apart,
Empty heart full

You were with us for such a short time.
But you changed me forever.
Miss you so.
Love you always.

Stranded

Notice. Just notice.
Without naming, remembering, or planning.

The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them.
~ Francis Weller

Kiira ... I found this on the way back machine. That was at the Mac and you were helping me hand out beer. Miss you girl.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Gratitude and Sorrow

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
~ David Ellsworth

May all dogs be loved.

I will know you in the song of the flicker.
