Julie; I know how much you loved Magic and still miss her so. I can say that I feel the same way about Riley, and am actually dreading Jan his 1 year anniversary of being gone. I've tried to write something in your post many many times, but I usually just end up crying, I never seem to be able finish. Julie you truly have such a way with words of your love for magic, that when I read your beautiful heart felt tributes to your sweet girl, I can hardly see through my tears let alone write something that could let you know how much I understand, and have been right where you are. And prob still am right there too. Even though I know in my heart we tried everything to make Riley well. as you did magic. Letting them go peacefully was our gift to our suffering boy & girl. There is a song that came out in the summer time called "Listen to your Heart" and even though it’s about a break up. The lyrics say Listen to your heart before you tell him good bye. Its sentiment fits for when we have no other choice but to put our beloved fur babies to sleep. Because We DO listen to our hearts at the most difficult time, and knew inside our hearts it was the best thing and only choice we can make for them. No matter how much it broke our hearts to let them go. We did it out of love for our Best friend who gave us their wonderful Love and in return, we had to listen to our hearts before we told them good bye. I had to take a little break from BW for awhile, because I seemed to cry so much all the time not jut over Riley but about every single rainbow bridge post I read. or posted too.That I just needed time to heal my heart a little bit more. Even though really, I love this site, I don't know how I could have gotten through some of the rough day’s right after Riley left on his RB journey without the many BW members caring support & the other BW members whom I met on BW who were hurting over their loss just like me. For them and you Julie,
I am truly grateful. I know in my heart that Magic & Riley are still watching over us and will always be with us The great times we shared together will be wonderful memories forever. Their paw prints are on our hearts and their love is etched into our soul... (((((((( HUGS)))))))))) Vickie
