Loss of a loved one brings so much grief. It is a hollowness inside wrapped in sadness. Be still, and give it time to become smaller. I appreciate your writing, and will think of you as you grieve. It always seems better when there are others to hold us up in times like these. Blessings.

In reply to sariwilson. Thank you, Sari. We still miss her. And you are right, it is very difficult to write about the bond between animals and humans. I am struggling a bit to do it in my next novel -- or at least the pages that may turn into that novel. Maybe it's time for me to write one of those letters to my sister. Thanks again for the kind words.

This is such a beautiful and honest essay. I could feel your sadness and your determination. The dailiness of writing and its stresses and rewards. I’m so sorry for your loss–it’s so hard to communicate the special bond of dogs and people–you do a wonderful job–you are so right that it has to do with physical presence and dailiness. Also, the advice of writing a letter to a loved one when stuff is brilliant. Thank you again!

In reply to Kirie. Oh, those phantom sightings are the hardest and yet the most wonderful. Thanks for writing this. Enjoy every day with your Maine Coon companion. Thank you so much for your kind words and understanding.

In reply to whippetwisdom. Thank you so much for this. I'm guessing from your handle that whippets are special to you. You are right, the legacy and love do live on. And we are fortunate for that.
