thank you...

Thank you. Your words have meant so very much to me, and to all of us. I've sat down many times to read the emails and comments about Luka, and they've not only brought (welcome) tears, but comfort, smiles, and a bit of joy as well. I thank you for that.

Things are still moving slowly around here, but I'll be back in the swing of blogging this week. Routine is good. And, of course, there's comfort to be found in using one's hands, isn't there? I've got lots to show from that.

I hope the rest of your weekend is lovely, and I'll see you back here tomorrow...

glad to hear you are finding comfort and bits of joy - in the emails and your peony garden. our peonies are pretty much the same bright pink color - i too noticed less blooms on the bush this year, but treasured those few a little more, they are here so briefly. lovely weekend photo. take care.

Remember to take your time slowly, softly, quietly or loudly - if thats what you want/need. And lots of talking about your special little one (when the time's right) is very important. Death has a wonderful way of making us appreciate life so much more - our life right now, as well as the life of our loved one.
Peace and light for you and your family xx

Take care of you and those you love.

[Shelley]

Am a lurker and wanted to post under the picture of your sweet dog, but couldn't find the words and would start to tear up whenever I tried. Treasure the memories.

I thought I was looking at a photo of my girl, Sindy who's 14! Our dogs are so special, I feel your loss. Hugs from us all, the Scott family & pets.

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish you the best as you go thru the process of grief. You and your family are in my thoughts.

[heather]

thinking of you all still, dear soules. looking forward to your gentle return.

[Ky]

Oh, I am so sorry. I just got back from England and caught up on your blog and my heart is breaking for you all. Luka looks like such a sweet, friendly soul; my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

[heidi]

can't wait to see what you have come up with! keep your head up babe. how are the kidos coping with luka being gone. so hard to deal with death and wee ones. but what appreciation we gain from being alive in every day!!!

[Jessica]

Everyone grieves in their own way,and it's so therapeutic to be able to put that energy into making things. The loss of a pet is so difficult, because not only are they a family member, but they're also such very innocent beings. It is, by far, the most difficult part of being owned by a pet. Glad you're taking good care of yourself and your family.

[Heather]

I'm sending big warm hugs to you. Can you feel it?

[LuAnn]

The pain of loosing a pet is so intense and sad. But nothing could be sadder than to not have them in our lives at all. Sorry for your loss. She was a lucky dog!

[Grace]

I absolutely love your peonies! They're probably my second favorite flower -- after tulips. Take care ... I know how hard it is to say goodbye to such a dear one.

[Molly]

Oh a beautiful peony... still hanging in there at the end of the season. Again, I'm so sorry for your sweet dog. I'm glad to hear routine will return... I think that was what saved me in any loss I've had! My heart is with you.

[Madeline R]

Your photo is beautiful. Working with one's hands is healing. SO true. I think of your family and Luka and send you warm thoughts.
