It's hard to believe that it's been just over five months since we took dear sweet Holly for that final trip to the vet. We are blessed to have her share our life and home for 10 1/2 years.
Even now, the house seems very quiet and empty. Although she has permanently left us, I still feel her presence. I have moments when I want to check on her, give her a pat, take her for a walk... I even expect to see her in the kitchen hoovering the floor, while I prepare a meal.
I'm glad that I started my COVID-19 walking project without Holly by my side. If I had taken her along with me when I began in September 2019, every step after February 27th would have been a painful reminder of her absence.
Oh goodness. Your tribute poem made me teary-eyed. So beautifully and sensitively written, Marianna. Holly sounds and looks like such a sweet, soulful and spirited girl. Her kohl-lined eyes always will be a vision imprinted in your memory, now ours.
May you continue to heal with the memories forever sealed in your heart.
Warm regards,
Jacqui
Dear Jacqui,
You captured Holly’s essence perfectly, especially the “spirited” part. As you have your own fur babies, I know you comprehend how they enrich our lives. I appreciate your kind words.
Beautiful words, Marianna. Sending hugs xx
