It's hard to imagine, I can't believe how much time has passed, well over 3 months since my last post. Also well over 3 months since I lost my beautiful boy. Since then I've had an incredible adventure, working and living in Antarctica of all places and it really was the most magical experience but there wasn't a single day that I didn't think of Samurai. Each day seemed like agony being away from him, its the longest we had been separated and the hardest thing was knowing I had to get used to the feeling.
Going to Antarctica was a god-send after losing Samurai but really all it did was delay the inevitable, I have to get used to being in this empty house. It's lovely sitting in my scrapping room again, I feel comforted knowing I'm back in 'our' room but its still heart breaking to look up from my lap top and see his empty mat and his favourite toy just lying there. I still look for him at the gate when I come home from the gym and I lay awake all night listening for his snores. How deathly quiet the house is now.
So anyway today I've dusted my scrapping room, I brought the latest Scrap 365 mag AND Scrapbook magazine and I'm going to focus on Scrapping my photos from Antarctica and hopefully soon one or two of my boy.
Welcome back Mon!!!

A Paw On The Stair
They say you’ll always return
And visit your favourite place
Where love was all you knew
And to gaze on your favourite face
We found it hard to say goodbye
But we really do believe
That we needed to be together
Though we’ll never truly leave
We’re running through the fields now
So happy to be alive
We know you’re sad without us
But our spirits will survive
Please be happy with the new ones
Who have come to take our place
We know they’ll bring you joy and love
And fill up that empty space
Our lives with you were perfect
And the love was forever there
So always believe we’re with you
When you hear the paw on the stair
HI Kelly!
DeleteThank-you so much for your comment and the lovely poem. It brought a tear to my eyes and also my partners but made us smile as well. There will be the patter of little paws in our house again one day and most likely little rottie paws, but not for a little while yet as things as still too raw. xxx
