Your post brought tears to my eyes, it was beautifully written and so thoughtful. Our household has had it share of dogs and cats and all their different life endings. Your sentiments ring true. Healing takes time, take care and treasure the memories.

Thank you. So hard to lose pets. But we would not be without them.

So sorry to hear about Jet, Anna.

What you have written in this post is beautiful. I love especially your words about your father and how he lived his life.

It’s so true that for lessons on how to live we should look to those who love life most and live it most fully.

We do need to grab every morsel and crumb.

So important to remember.

But maybe sometimes too easy to forget.
