I am still trying to come to terms with T-man's passing. I find it hard to believe that he's gone to the Rainbow Bridge so suddenly. And I feel for his mom... she must be going through a very hard time now. I wish there's something I can do to cheer her up a little, even if it's just for a while. *sigh*Mom was very understanding and gave me lots of ear rubs and belly rubs to cheer me up. While I did appreciate her effort, it did not really help.
Huskee's mom: Sorry, I have 'hijacked' Huskee's blog again... I have consiously made an effort to try to stop talking/ writing about Lucas because I guess people will get tired of listening to me. However, I really couldn't help it here because for me, T-man's passing really brought back the memories of how painful it is to lose someone you love.
In my daily life, I have stopped wallowing in self-pity (as some people will put it) and stopped talking about Lucas altogether... like some people will say, I am 'getting my act together'. I am crying a lot lesser... and I have even achieved the feat of holding Mark's one year old nephew without breaking down. However, it doesn't mean that I am 'back to normal'... it just proves that I am getting better at hiding my emotions.. and that I can control myself a lot better now. One thing I can confirm is that I am definitely not a 'mental case' like what I initally thought!
I came across this poem when we lost Lucas, I felt that it was so meaningful and exactly described how I was feeling. Reading it again still makes me teary and I have shared it with T-man's mom. She must be going through such a rough time now and I wish there's something I can do...
They say memories are golden,
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
No one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Can't wait for the 'link' to be complete...

That is very sad and beautiful. You shouldn't have to stop talking about Lucas. Ever. Or having feelings. Or remembering.

That is a beautiful poem. I have never met T-man before, and I'm very sure he was a wonderful doggy from all the love he's receiving, and I know that you will be very appreciated for sharing this beautiful poem.

That's a nice poem. Don't stop talking to us about Lucas just because you think we're tired of hearing about him. We're here for you for those types of situations. if you need to vent, need someone to say woohoo or need a virtual hug, then let us know!

Huskee,
I've joined DWB for about 2 months now. My little heart beats the same pace with every doggies, I feel sad and happy with every news we share.
Can I borrow the poem for my mom, it's a perfect comfort for her. She lost my brother maltese Ringo last year. She cried alone for months until she found me.
Please tell your mom do not stop talking about Lucas, we're listening and never grow tired of it. Oh I forgot to tell you the other night, she went to your blog, read and read far far back, her tears dropped on the keyboard when she read what your mom wrote about pregnancy then Lucas went to heaven. Hugs and kisses to both of you, and Hershey too.
Cheers!
What a lovely poem. It made Grammie teary eyed. You are working through the grief process, but never feel that you have to explain yourself. You are allowed to feel anyway you desire for any length of time that you need. No one knows your pain but you and if they can't except you and your feelings that is their dysfunction.
Hi Huskee & Mom,
That poem is really bewootiful! R Mommy got tears in her eyes while reading it.

What a beautiful poem. Take all the time you need and if you don't want to stop talking about Lucus, DONT!
Huskee, we get pumpkin every other day, then usually banananana on the days we don't get pumpkin!
Hi Huskee,
That is a very beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing it. And please tell your Mom that it is okay to talk about Lucas whenever she wants to. If it helps with some part of healing, my Mom and I are all ears for her...

Huskee and Mom Shane,
That is the most beautiful poem..it made me cry a lot because it really tells the truth of what it feels like to lose a loved one.
I know that sad memories will keep coming up when you are reminded of them. I think your pain must be so much harder because you didn't have the chance to create those happy memories with Lucas. But I'm hoping he'll find his way back to you somehow, some way. Just keep loving him and he will stay close to your heart.

Hi Huskee and Mom,
That's a really sad and beautiful poem. We're sad to hear about T-Man too although we never get the chance to know him.
Hope you'll feel better in time to come. No matter how hard and painful it is at this point, hope you'll take comfort in knowing that you'll always have people around you who cares and loves you. Keeping you in our thoughts.
The poem is beautiful. You're allowed to grieve. No one can tell you what is an appropriate time frame or how to handle your grief.
We're glad you enjoyed Mr. Nekkid Cold Box's story. We thought you might like to know Jan put a note out for Randy the mailman yesterday with the blog address on it so he can "meet" the appliance he delivered so much mail to. :)
aiyo Huskee, you change your layout. I thought I went to the wrong blog. wakakakkaka!!! where is your chatbox??
slurpy licks,
Twinkle
What a beautiful poem!
We also are saddened by the news of T-man crossing the bridge.
And we think it's okay to talk about Lucas as much or as often as you want.
Take care!
Woofs Casper, Buddy, Nikki, and Momma
