It was a whirlwind and so much fun. Our goal was to see what was available to lease in an area where horses, colleges and my love of the ocean could be pinpointed or centered around. We achieved the goal. Now, what to do with all the information is the question.
Coming home to a Durby-less home was very hard, lonely and unsettling. He was around me for 13 years and I'll miss him and his energy and the love he shared readily for a long time. I am honored to have had him as my dog. Lucky, lucky me. Thank you God.
I want to share that life is simpler; easier. I am no longer worried about his ability or lack thereof to stand and make it outside. I'm not worried that he is going to hurt himself or need me. I am not worried if his bark is something more than just a bark. I am grateful to know this. I am grateful that with really tough situations, if I look (sometimes much harder and deeper than other times), I can usually see and experience good, loving things as well. Such is what our living can be made up of. Many different aspects, emotions, levels and outcomes.
So, as I go forward without my Durby, I experience great loss, yet, gratitude and love still abounds.
May you be able to see and feel love and support through all the times of hardship that may come your way.
