It’s been 90 days since Frida crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Some days it seems that it was so long ago, yet I still catch myself feeling that I have to go back home to take her for a walk. Some days we enjoy our “freedom” and many, many nights, when we are in bed, before turning off the lights, we start talking about her, and I end up sleeping teary eyed. My after run showers continue to be the natural refuge to let a river of tears flow, that the warm, running water showers away.
After 365 days that this blog was born, I reflect how many words have been written and how many feelings have been expressed. How many tears have been shed, how many hearts have been touched, how many canine lives have been lost, and how we fall apart and rebuild our broken hearts. And in the middle of our sorrow, our raw pain, the only force that matters is LOVE.
I want to honour the teachings of my furry one. She taught me to live the moment, to be strong . Even in her worst moments there was never a time when she didn’t show us her love and gratitude. I know that she must have been afraid sometimes, but that never brought out the worst of her, it was just the opposite. Every hurdle along the way Frida showed us her best!
I have been reflecting for weeks how lucky I was to have met such a beautiful, gentle,sweet, and loving soul. Time will help our healing process, and love will work its magic once again. We cannot let fear and sadness take control, we cannot be afraid of loving. Because love is stronger than anything. Love is the answer.
Frida, I will love you forever.
