Its been a year, but the heart aches, the eyes watery, the nose blocked .... only precious sweet memories remain

Goldie dear, today (9th November) marks the first anniversary of your being an angel. I could still clearly remember our lunch meeting that day. Despite not being well, you ate a few spoons of wet food and we planned to return every 2 hours during clinic opening hours to feed you so that you can eat more and recover well. I remember that after feeding and wiping you, I put back the oxygen mask on you, but very quickly, you shook it off and turn your head to look at us. I still clearly remember your lovely appearance - big warm lovely eyes. At that moment, I have thought of taking a picture of you, but I didn't, as I honestly believed that you could recover. At hindsight, it was a very deep regret. It was actually your saying good-bye to us (for you pass away within 2 hours of our leaving)! How careless of me to ignore your message and missed the chance to accompany you when you made the transition to rainbow bridge.  

Life without you is never the same. Occasionally, I still called your name while I was trying to call the boy or girls at home. Don't worry, its a sign of my ageing, and of course how deeply I missed you, for you are you. The one and only! 

It was a great comfort to me, that you are enjoying your new life in rainbow bridge. You like your job of helping with harvesting and making a lot of friends. Goldie dear, you know you are always welcome to come and visit us. Pardon me for being insensitive, I have so far not sensed anything. 

Miss you! Take care and God bless you dear!

Stella has been with us for over a month already. She's adjusting to our way of life well and is a bit more disciplined. She still likes to intimidate her brother and sister, and they are both pretty accommodating, though Betty could still give her long lectures. She is still pretty daring, driving us nuts at times with her high jump. 

Anyway, she has come a long way and still has a long list of training to go.....
