44. I'm so very sorry, my dear friend.

A piece of your heart has been torn away. I'm crying with you because I know exactly how you're feeling.

Remember this:
"And there were nights when I'd feel him
Climb upon our bed
And lie between us,
And I'd pat his head.

And there were nights when I'd feel this stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh
And I think I know the reason why.

He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.

And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.

And there are nights when I think
I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.

Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.*
- Jimmy Stewart

I'm crying with you and am sending love & gentle cyber hugs.

Rocket will be remembered.
💔🚀-man❤️
