One month ago from today, our first dog B crossed Rainbow Bridge.
He was with us for over fifteen years.
It goes without saying that B gave my family and I many beautiful memories while he was alive. He played with me when I was six, guarded me when I was eleven, stuck by me when I was sixteen, and taught me when I was twenty-one. But even after his passing, I haven't stopped coming across countless precious gifts that he has left behind. His courage, wisdom, and joy of life have been with me every day as a reminder of how I should aspire to be. Which might sound silly... because he was a dog. But he was one hell of a dog. And no girl could ask for any better.
Thank you, B. I'll always love you. Always, always, always.
わたしは顔本に自分の言葉でBのことを知らせることが出来なかった。色々考えた末、Friend to Friendという詩をアップした。お世話になった獣医さんのカードに添えられた詩でもある。それをネットで探してコピペした。わたしの気持ちにいちばん近い気がしたからだ。また、自分の内面の気持ちを顔本で伝えることに幾分かの抵抗があった。
あれから、自分のブログにつらつらと書いてはいる。そうして自分の気持ちを消化し、昇華できたらいいなと思っている。
