February 24th 2009- March 14th 2021
It's been the first two weeks without you.
Time has played a funny prank.
Some days it seems as if you just left
Other days it feels like you've been gone for months.
I was right when I said nothing will ever be the same.
No more looking up at me asking for some scratches on the head.
No more little whimper wine saying you want up on the bed.
Mz Mazzy has seemed to start the job of filling your paws.
She's giving me the cuddles that you no longer can
But they're different...
I miss the sound of your tags jungling on your collar.
I'm used to the shake you gave when you woke up... Silence takes it's place.
Now when there's a knock on the door
Mz Mazzy Star is the growler.
Your throaty bass bark is missed.
I still say "Where's my buddy?"
Unfortunately now it refers to your remains.
Maybe I'm not so lonely because I wear some of you with me on my necklace.
Still that's not close enough.
One day I'll get atleast your paw print tattooed on me with your ashes in the ink.
It's been a busy few weeks without you.
People have helped me pay tribute to you.
I also know you've visited me a time or two.
How about you?!
How have your first two weeks been without me?💞
Such great words for a great Lab!! XOXO Mack's Dad
