Savannah... just seemed like she was supposed to be forever.
That's the part I'm struggling with, too. I know it's ridiculous, because who ever really pictures what life will be like without one of the most prominent fixtures? A parent, a trusted friend, a treasured pet?
I keep thinking I hear her paws on the tile, that the tufts of fur gathered on the couch that I refuse to pick up will suddenly conjure her back from wherever she's gone. I think I'm still tilting between denial and depression. I know several of us joked she would outlive us all.
Thank you for telling me I was good to her. She was certainly amazing--I have over 20 comments on my Facebook of people talking about her, and many more on my dad's Facebook saying the same thing. In those words there and these words here, I find the validation that people get it. I've lost someone I cared about deeply and nobody is asking me to justify the grief because she was "just a dog."
She was so much more than that. And I'll probably be needing reassurance that I was worthy of her, even in death. So thank you very much. <3
