What lasts, anyway?

is so easy to work, work, work, building up our resumés. Noses to the grindstone. Shouldering on. Or for those who aren’t in jobs any longer, filling our days with tasks, scrolling the news. But, when it all comes to a stop, when we are done on this Earth, have we built up what really matters?

Will we leave behind people who loved us, who we loved with everything we had to give while we had the chance to give it? Have we showed our people how much they mean to us? Have we dared to truly love?

Or will we leave too much left unsaid, unfelt, unloved?

We still have time to choose.

    I’m grieving for my dear dog who died five weeks ago. She loved life and gave so much love, joy and happiness to so many people. A life well lived and loved. She taught me a lot. I’m devastated at losing her. She was a rescue dog who had a very bad start in life but with me we shared eight years of love and companionship. I’m lost without her 🤍🤍

      Sadly, I understand. I lost my Honey 9/12/23. She was my light. I don’t think I’ll ever be ‘over’ it. Sending you love.

        Thank you so much, my dog was called Bessie. She’ll always be in my heart as Honey is in yours. I like to believe our bond is still there x

        I hope Bessie will find Honey and make friends. We will see them again. 💕
