Libby,
Your post spoke to me, as I lost my Abby (miniture schnauzer) a couple of months ago. I still find myself walking into a room and wondering for a sec. where she is..... She was 15 and we had her since she was a little puppy.. SO I know the loss......Funny how they become such a HUGE part of the family... and as for Grandma's..............There are no words for a loss that great. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rene - I'm so sorry about Abby. Isn't that strange when we expect to see a pet even though we should know that we won't? I believe I know exactly what you are talking about with Abby - sometimes I really think I catch a glimpse of Seamus out of the corner of my eye sometimes here, and I have to look back to check, even though I KNOW she's gone. It's as if we expect so much to see them and have them around that our minds and souls somehow "see" them. And thank you so much for the words about my Grandma Muriel - I loved her so very much.
Corinne - you are so sweet to check back with me. Grandma Muriel DID live an interesting and full life, and raised in her oldest son the best father a girl could have. I am so lucky... Luck of the Irish, I guess - or luck of the Hawaiian Irish?!?!?!
Jenny - Isn't...geez...WASN'T she an amazing lady? And always a lady. My Dad looks just like her, and so do I (I've always been told). I feel so fortunate to have inhereted a smile that is like hers, I only hope that I have also inhereted the kindness, sparkly eyes and determination to have a good, full life that she had. Thanks so much for reading about her.
XOXO, Libbie

Libby,
I would challenge you to write as much down that comes to you during this time - about your grandma and your pet....I can tell, by reading some of your messages that you are a writer at heart.... they may be a great comfort to you ( as well as others) later....I am such a dog lover.. yet havent gotten another one yet... but there is something about dogs... and for me Grandma's.. that just love without conditions.. and who doesnt need that!! |

What a lovely tribute to a very special lady! How proud all of you must be of your grandmother! When we lose a pet about the same time as a loved one, I like to think they are helping each other over the Rainbow Bridge. My condolences to you and the family for both losses.

Libbie, that was a wonderful tribute--thank you for posting the link. I love that (just one) of her passions was jury duty! That made me smile as I'm sure she made you smile. How very proud you must be to come from such a wonderful woman. I also enjoyed reading about your father...what an interesting life!!!

| I'm so sorry for your double loss. I didn't see this at first, so it's news to me. Your grandma sounds like a great lady, and I'm glad you all had such fun during her life. |

Ahhh Libbie I just read your post and hope you are doing somewhat better and hubbie is back in town. Sorry to hear the passing of your sweet Grandmother and happy that you have such wonderful and fond memories of her to cherish forever. Grandmothers are the best. Your dog sure was a beauty and I am sure loved to pieces! It is not the same when they are not around. I still miss our little dog. Time heals doesn't it? But time sometimes seems to go so slow. Love you and thinking about you sweet Libbie.
Hugs, Maryjane Lee
