Yesterday this adorable girl returned to Spirit. She’d been ill since the new year, went through a lot, and when we learned we couldn’t win we dedicated ourselves to as much happiness as we could give her.
She left me with some wonderful moments. Moments I will treasure forever. Moments my heart is screaming to have back, but not as she was. We loved her too much for that.
She and her siblings, living and passed, are the best of me. They gave/give me the opportunity to love unconditionally. I couldn’t be a parent, but through them I learned what it means to love something so much more than yourself. She had my whole heart and it’s so lost right now.
How do so many people and animals you love all own your whole heart? The human capacity for love should never be underestimated.
I know that the missing her will return to love, it’s happened eight times already, she’s number nine, but right now I’m broken.
However, through my love for what are my children, I’m not famous partly because I’m a mother at heart, I empathise with the pain of this world.
I’m taking this opportunity to remind myself and anyone who reads this, that every single true parent, the world over, regardless of any perceived differences, feels exactly this way. Whether a parent of children, or beloved pets, or both.
There are no differences.
In the name of Amie, let’s connect to the similarities, and stop this horrific agony. In the name of all the lost innocents, can the world leaders please connect their love for their children to an empathy for others?
Please.
Love you precious, precious, girl. Always and forever. Kiss the others for me and tell them nothing has changed. They’re still as loved as you will always be.
