It sounds scary but you do seem to endure it with incredible bravery and dignity. Thank goodness for the Pidge.

I don't know how old Pigeon is but she looks like a puppy in these pictures :)<br /><br />My dad died 26 years ago and I still have moments of absolute grief when I just miss him so much, I still can't believe he's gone. Time does stretch out between these times and that's what makes life bearable, I think.

I don't think it gets easier; you just learn to live with the pain.<br /><br />On a different note I have to say that the Pigeon has the legs of a supermodel; glorious!<br /><br />I can see from your pictures why you are both pleased to be home.<br />Best wishes,<br />SunnyDevon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-22726624739087355562011-12-04T16:32:09.268+00:002011-12-04T16:32:09.268+00:00She's not sticking her bottom in the air (she&...She's not sticking her bottom in the air (she's much too dignified for that). That? That's the classic yoga position "downward facing dog". It's wonderful for the spine - try it sometime! When you can extend your arms and open your shoulders the way Pidge is, you'll truly appreciate the perfection and level of difficulty of this pose.<br /><br />You are right about missing dads... that's just how it is.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.com
