mouse, i still miss the person i was before my best friend dog died. i was different, no doubt about that. that grieves me. i think it's natural to miss whatever that person/animal brought out in us.

i have a teeshirt that says "be the kind of person your dog thinks you are" and i think it also applies to all of us. i'm probably not the person a lot of you think i am, but i'd sure like to be........

grief is natural. it's a part of the process of loss. without grief, we deny the loss. xoxoxo pat
