It's Been A Week

It's been a week since I had to let Megan go. I'm not crying anymore and at first I felt guiltly for that ( we humans are so hard on ourselves, aren't we?) I can look at her pictures and smell her, feel her, hear her and smile. Is that strange? I have found peace. I felt guilty thinking it was too soon to feel this way, but last night in my dream she was there at the door waiting for me when I came home from work and when I awoke I felt calm. She is still protecting me and taking care of me.
I have to say that reading all the heart felt messages here has helped me tremendously. This is a fantastic place and I thank God for it !!! All of you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Missing Miss Megan

We had Megan, our family dog, for 12 years, actaully she was with us longer than my youngest son and my oldest picked her out of the Animal Rescue Center when he was only 2 years old. She was truly my protector, best friend and a true member of the family I am feeling such emptiness today as we had to put her to sleep yesterday. Her health was getting worse by the day and I loved her too much to have her suffer any more. I know I did the right thing in my mind, but right now my heart is doing all of my thinking. It aches. I did okay all day today until I came home from work and she wasn't at the door to greet me. I caught myself looking for her just for a minute and then the tears started to fall. I am sure this will get easier and the guilt will leave but for now I am finding comfort in the tears. I am hugging my cat a little more than I think he wants to be, and I've even hugged my kids a little extra today.
Megan, you will be deeply missed and fondly remembered. Thank you for all the joy you brought to us. I can only hope we brought you as much in turn.
