Heartfelt Letter To My Goliath, For those who need comfort Options

[forduffy]

Many hugs to you, Beth. We all need to take a break from time to time because we are all still going through that beast called grief and here on these forums, emotions can get too intense at times. I know that I have taken several breaks to turn into myself and lick my wounds. I look forward to seeing you soon because you are truly a cherished member on these forums.

Thanks Stephanie for your kind words. I am in a good place today and feeling happy memories of my special Goliath.

Your hugs arrived and I appreciate your sweet thoughts of me. I just needed a little time to regroup and count my blessings.

Hugs to you Stephanie Beth

Hi Judy..........I am glad to be back too. Thanks. I also had many PMs, from people here, that told me they were taking a break as well. Sometimes I just need a little time to myself to think without distraction and figure out what it is that bothers me and how I can resolve uncomfortable feelings.

People here in this forum are wonderful just as people outside this forum are wonderful and giving. I love all of the writers here and am very thankful that I found all of you. Without this, I don't know how I could have ever begun to heal.

As I continue my journey in life I know that I will always miss my Goliath. My home is just sooooooo different without having his physical being here. But, in the spiritual sense, he is everywhere. Especially in my heart and on my mind.
Gidget and I have been spending some quality time together and enjoying every minute of it. She too has had to make adjustments to Goliath's absence.

I appreciate your thoughts Judy and I will see you here, where we care and comfort each other through these difficult times.

Gidget and I got the hugs.................mmmmmmmm thanks Beth

[goliath]

Hugs always feel good to me Judy. You have sent me many and it just feels soooo good and warm and fuzzy to know that others truly care about each other.

Each day is a gift to savor and enjoy. Our memories belong to us and although I am truly thankful for the time Goliath and I had together, my heart will always hurt in missing him.

I am glad you chose to read my last post and that it made you smile. That's what it's all about, isn't it? For somebody to be there, when we need comfort the most, is a true blessing.

Hugs to you my friend

Thank you for stopping by Judy. When I made my last post here I was just feeling very grateful for the wonderful times I had with Goliath. My words of expression come easily in describing what he and I share as they truly come from my heart. It just feels so good to have a heart full of joy and happiness.

Goliath always brought smiles to others when he was here on earth and I am so glad that he continues to do so in his loving spirit.

Hugs to you Judy

Dear Goliath..................As I awakened this morning my first thought was of you, just as it is each and every morning. Since this is Easter Sunday, I wondered if you were playing with those little plastic eggs you always loved to push around on the floor with your cute little nose. I always loved to see you have such a fun time guiding those eggs with such expertise. You were so comical with your boundless energy and play.

As Daddy and I are celebrating the true meaning of Easter and giving thanks for all we have been so generously blessed with, we will also be remembering you and all the joy and happiness you brought into our lives. Our love for you will never die.

One day all of us will be together in a perfect world just as it was intended by Jesus. Until that day comes, I will be with you each and every day for the rest of my days here on earth. It gives me great comfort in knowing you are in God's loving hands and living in His house forever.

A beautiful poem. Goliath was such a handsome little boy. It's heartbreaking to see such beauty die. Unlike humans, the beauty of an animal, particularly cats and dogs doesn't seem to fade. Goliath looks so young in his photo, and the photo of Bono (the display pic) was taken the same year he died. But they are both glowing, as though completely healthy. He's at the bridge waiting on you, hopefully keeping my little Bono company. x

To Judy..............Thanks for bringing me the pic of your stepdaughter's little doggie. Is it a mix? I can see the chihuahua in her liitle furlove especially with the ears. That is a sweet pic of the two of them and brought me a smile first thing when I came on.

I had responded to another writer here and told a story of how Goliath peed on my mother-in-laws leg once and got myself a little upset. When I first began telling it I was laughing so hard and gradually the laughing discipated to a struggle of a smile through tears and then I just lost it and had a good cry. So when I saw your posting it brought me a much needed smile.

To Gillian...............Thanks for stopping by to visit. Yes Goliath was very young in his avatar picture. He was only a year and 8 months. There are other pics of Goliath at many other ages in my other threads. The last picture I took of him is by the fireplace at age 10 years 9 months, which was not quite 2 weeks before he passed away.

Goliath is very much alive and well in my heart and I thank God each and every day for all the happiness and wonderful memories of our time shared. While I was truly blessed in my life with Goliath, I am twice blessed that he remains in my heart and waits for me in heaven.

Goliath was just SO cute!!! I'm so glad he had such a loving person to take care of him. He was lucky.

Goliath was just SO cute!!!  I'm so glad he had such a loving person to take care of him.  He was lucky.

We were both VERY lucky because we nurtured each others love. I am so thankful that God chose me to know and love Goliath. The two of us made so many wonderful memories together that I will cherish forever. His love will live in my heart and I know my love for him will always be in his heart.

Goliath came from heaven and that is where he returned to when he left my loving arms. He has come full circle as I will too one day when we are reunited once again.
