A friend on Facebook, who also has had dogs in wheelchairs, sent me a note remembering that it is 3-years since Frankie passed today. He thought perhaps I may be sad.
I appreciate his kindness and thinking of me. But I do have to say that I’m not sad. I’m really just so grateful to have had Frankie in my life. When I think of her these days, I smile. I feel happy. I feel blessed.
To continue to be sad, I think, would be dishonoring her, and all our pets who bring us so much joy and lessons learned that we may never have learned if not for them.
I think of all the love I had for Frankie — still do — it never goes away — it never will. It fills me up with nothing but gratefulness.
If not for her, I’d never had Joie, and now Gidget. Each time one moves on, it opens the door for another. We get to experience joy and love all over again.
That is their gift…. and I say thank you little one. Thank you for all the love you gave me that changed me forever.
We shall meet again someday. I’m counting on it.
