It's been 8 years since my mother passed. I was reminded tonight of when I was younger, listening to my parents talk with their friends about who had passed, who was ill etc and there I was tonight out with friends and making the same comment. Two of my friends were shocked at the passage of time. As I looked at the one friend, I was happy to have her in my life, she'd been there with me through thick and thin and had been a great friend when my gather passed and my mt mother and as my brothers deserted us. Yes, deserted us. If you're reading this, yes, that's exactly what you did. You're loss.
I'm reminded too of Spike, who hung on through this tough time in out lives, even though he wanted to go and rest.
Life with my mother had many, many ups and downs. Life with Spike was to know unconditional love, the love only a pet can bring to your life. Love you both.
