Brett, Im so sorry you lost Boo.  They are part of the family.  We only ever had one dog, a Pom, Coco.  He lived to almost 18.  I regret that I never trained him so he was not well behaved.  My Mom had a lot of extra work taking care of him while I was at work.  But of course she never complained.  We lost my Granny then the next year Coco then the next year my Mom got sick.  If only I could go back and prevent it all.

After I lost Boo, I listened to this song so many times. She and Krissy saw me through the worst times.

I had two. Now I have one. They were sisters and they are Schnoodles. 12 years ago I lost my little dog Annie. She was a Poodle. I missed a couple of days of work. I couldn't stop crying. My mom walked into my bedroom with two little puppies. They had gift bows on their heads. Mom said, "Here. If you lose one, you will still have another one to love." Just another of the million reasons why I love my mom so much. That was also about the time that my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Krissy and Boo were by my side from the beginning. When mom was on Hospice I never left the house, but I was never lonely. They were on top of me all of the time. When mom died I said, "Thank Goodness I still have you two." They were my reason for getting up in the morning. My mom loved them and they were a great big piece of her. Losing Boo was so hard. It happened a few months ago. She died in the night. She was the best little dog. She was blind and she would always have her nose pressed up against my leg so that she always knew where I was. I miss her. I like to think she's with mom now, waiting across the Rainbow Bridge for me.

They may have been the best gift that my mom ever gave me. She made sure that I was not alone after she died. They have been a blessing. A true gift from God. I still have little Krissy. She's blind now, too. She's old but I think that she sticks around for me, watching over me.

Brett, any thoughts on why horrible things happen to the best people?

I would never pray for anything that wasnt important.  Why weren’t my prayers to cure my Mom answered?  Then I ask is it because I was supposed to cure her and I failed?

Brett if you tell me your dog was a Pomeranian I won’t believe it

Good morning all. This is morning in India now.

I hope that afterlife exists so that I can meet my mother somewhere after I pass and also my father meets her lovely wife after he starts his heavenly journey.

How true Brett!

 I went to the nail salon today and I saw girl I haven’t seen for probably two years saw her walking across the salon strangely I couldn’t imagine what was going on so I walked over to say hi to her because I didn’t think she recognized me and she looked up at me with a blank look in her eye and her daughter said my mom had a stroke two years ago I was so taken back this girl is younger than me I don’t even think she’s 50 I just couldn’t believe it then her husband came to get her she’s not doing very well after two years  so sad it scared me so much.  

 That was a real wake up call of how precious life is     I’m still dumbfounded

Brett no he was is not but he is a bit let’s say odd!?  You are so right our Lord suffered for us.   I made the mistake of watching the Mel Gibson The Passion.  It had me distraught for days. 

Some of my friends are like that they do not Believe in the afterlife which took me by surprise because the whole time of been a good friend her I thought she did

I have this to say most of my friends still have their parents they have no idea what grief and anguish really is.

you were not preaching agree with everything you say 100%

Theresa, I'm a little long winded today. I was thinking about what your yoga teacher said. I have a few friends who are atheist. I'm not saying your yoga teacher is. I have no idea. Their mantra is, "Live for today." That's a hard thing to do when your heart is broken.

One of my brothers is an atheist. I asked him where he thought our mother was. He said, "In a grave at Christ Lutheran Church." I would be completely miserable if I believed that. There is a lot of merit in finding joy in each day. I just hope for so much more. I would like to find a way to have peace today, but to also have the knowledge that the love I feel will not die when I die. That my mom, and my grandma, and my little dog, Boo, are all waiting for me.
