Beautiful poem Cindy. [MENTION=1950]goobers mom[/MENTION]
I don't stop. It does get much better as time goes on but they heart still misses months and years later. I still shed a tear sometimes when when picture pops up up on my sidebar of Ace and it's been almost 2 years. Big to you Emily.
The first time that happened to me I was completely caught off guard. It was a Friday evening and I was here on the boards. I had to take a moment and get my cry on. They're happy I miss ya tears now. You went through a real hard loss too.Oh Jeannie... the same thing happened to me not that long ago!!! A pic of Bella & her puppies showed up on the home page, and I was so taken aback...

Emily, what I have learned is that loss takes time to go thru all your
emotions, over & over again and sometimes up & down, back & forth
even in a single day's time.For instance, you start feeling acceptance
and then suddenly, you find yourself grieving as if your loss was fresh
and not months past. This is normal and will continue for some time,
until finally, the almost unendurable pain lessens somewhat and the
memories bring a smile, a chuckle even a belly laugh. You will always
mourn for your loved one, how can you not but you become better at
coping. There just isn't any way to escape the hurt when it's a great
love and their absence leaves you empty inside. Remember too, our
mourning for them is sacred work done in tribute for what they gave
to us, there will always be a part of your heart that no one will ever
have again because it is forever their's to occupy.
Sending you much love, Emily
