How does one let go of an old, gentle, kind, loyal, trusting, dear, beautiful, dog friend? There is no right answer for that, but I have to say that it always seems that I have to go into the letting go face forward, and heart wide open. I feel the pain- the loss- deeply. Every cell of my body vibrates with grief, and I sit in that space, despite its discomfort, as fully as I can. My heart aches with the tenderness and depth of our love. I know that love never changes, and I know the spirit of my boy is never far.
And so we say good bye, from this plane, to our dear beloved Tucker. He is a guide and a light in my life always, and I am so incredibly honored to have shared almost 14 years with him. Dear one, fly free and romp with endless joy.
