Almost Wordless Wednesday

This photo is Shyla standing next to a flower that will forever remind me of love and loss. I first discovered these Fairy Trumpet flowers on July 15, years ago, on the day that my Acadia became an angel. Angel K left us on July 15, three years ago. The same magical flower is blooming every year on this date.
On this day, I truly realize that every moment that seems like an ending is also a beginning. I didn't know Shyla back when K died and left me with a broken heart... and now Shyla is part of my heart.

    Something the same down here, as both Tom and then Poppy vanished on April 6th, exactly 2 years apart. And then along came Boris. Love those flowers, and for you to share your special memory days with us, hugs in heaps.

    Shyla is so beautiful and precious. I don't own a dog (we can't have pets because of very severe allergies), but many dogs have captured my heart and I wept over many of their deaths. A dog can "steal" your heart, but at the same time they give you their heart and loyalty. They are wonderful companions - and such unique characters!

    KB, I love how the circle of life renews our spirit after a heartbreak. Each pup deposits so much into our hearts and lives. I think our past dogs help lead the next ones to us to fill the huge hole they left. Love the flowers. Also, saw the video with Tiny in the water-so cool! Hugs,

    The flower is beautiful. I love the idea that in every ending is a new beginning ...the circle of life.

    Dear Shyla, I wanted you to know that I thought about you yesterday in my Pilates class when I was trying to do something that scares me. You totally helped me be brave and challenge myself. You're awesome!

    I imagine seeing those Fairy Trumpets brings you both sadness and joy. So many good memories of your canine friends now gone. I'm glad Shyla is there to help you smile.
