Five Year Ago Today Options

[Steph]

I could not let this day go by without paying tribute to my wonderful border collie mix, Luba, who died suddenly five years ago today. She had a congenital heart defect which we were unaware of until it was too late.

This past year, I've thought less of Luba, and more of Falkor who I had to have put down last summer, but Luba remains in my heart, and always will. I hope the two dogs are happy together, and playing as they used to.

When Luba passed, I wrote this little bit:

"Every night as I fall asleep,
My sadness runs a bit less deep,
For I've come closer, by one day,
To when you and I again will play."

Well, I'm now 1, 825 days closer.

So much has happened these past five years, and yes, there has been joy along with pain. But my words on the tribute to you on our vet's website remain the same through it all. The message is simple, but true: I miss you "Little Dog".
