My Beloved Durby

Durby is gone.  He left beautifully and wasn't afraid at all.   I kissed him and hugged him and thanked him.  He was truly one of my greatest joys.

I fed him his meal, and a bagel bite and chocolate ice cream.  He kissed me and laid his head on me.

I am grateful for the people who helped me to help him not to suffer.  I am grateful I didn't have to watch him struggle and hurt and deteriorate.

My mind cannot get around what just happened and I know it did.  My heart aches that I won't have him here in my surroundings.  I do have him as part of me forever.

May you know even when life is hard, beauty abounds.  May you experience the beauty in any state of being.

                                                Durby, one of my greatest joys.  Thank you.
