A Distant Dream
That feeling you have after a worst fear was realized and you've become accustomed to your new normal.
Its been a month
Since she left us
Since her pain was relieved
Since we've accepted our new normal
It doesn't feel the same
It doesn't feel right
It doesn't feel real
I still hear her paws on the floor
I still see her waiting to greet me when I get home
I still miss her
It feels like a distant dream
It feels like she's been gone forever
It feels like it only happened yesterday
Time is fluid
Time is irrelevant
Time is what came calling for her...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was her time and I wasn't ready, I'm still not ready. I didn't know it would be this hard with you, Belle.
We miss you everyday!

The world is a beautiful place"
The world is a beautiful place to be born into if you don’t mind happiness not always being so very much fun if you don’t mind a touch of hell now and then just when everything is fine because even in heaven they don’t sing all the time

I'm so sorry for your loss 🥺 I lost my cat one and a half years ago due to his illness. This poem hit home. It's exactly how I feel. I wasn't ready at all. Love this poem!
I love my pets and I loved this poem. Great writing
Nice
❤️
heartfelt one.. loved it
Heartfelt and moving, Donna 💕🙂
Wow!
The new challenge is a great opportunity to tell Belle how you feel. Talk about the good times, the not so good times, laughter, pain. Heartfelt stories are the best ones. Gives u a chance to get closure by bidding goodbye in the end. u should try it. Belle wants you to be happy and move on, She is in happy place. Remember the good times.
