Lucy Would Have Been Six Today..., Missing my girl on her birthday Options

[Caroline]

I feel very sad today as my chocolate lab Lucy would have been six years old today. She passed away on February 4th after a brave struggle with lymphoma. We still miss her so much and light a candle for her every Friday night (the night of the week she passed). In some ways, it seems like a lifetime ago that we were nursing her through her last days. In other ways, it seems like it was just yesterday. I am afraid I will forget the way she looked at me, the way she smelled, the way she was. I know I will never forget her, but I want her to know that she will never be forgotten.

Life just isn't the same without Lucy Lou. She was such a special girl. I guess I am done asking why this happened to her, to us. Now I think I am just grateful that we had her in our lives at all. Her collar and ashes still sit on our buffet table. I am not near ready to take them down. I still find great comfort in looking up and seeing her belongings.

This website has provided me with much comfort through the grieving stages. Although I don't write or post as much as I used to, I still read it almost every day. The people here got me through some very dark days, and through my own experience with Lucy, I hope to extend that comfort to others who are starting on their own sad journey. Thanks for listening...I just wanted to take a minute to remember my Lucy on her special day, and to once again thank all of you for your support...

Dear Caroline,

Thinking of you today, Lucy's 6th birthday. She'll never be forgotten, nor will any of our precious pets...........I believe they are looking down at us, knowing how much we will always love them.

Take care,

Love,
Lynn
