Hi Relda. It's hard to lose a partner and it takes time to get over it. There is no schedule. Little remembrances like this one that may seem trivial to others are precious to us. Nicely done. Marilyn

Hi Relda,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope that the writing of what you are feeling helps a lot in lessening your grief and in the healing process.
This is such a bitter-sweet write. A simple shared thing like giving tuna juice to your pets brings back nostalgic warm-hearted memories of times spent with your Bud. "My chest hurts" ... oh, this really tugs at your reader's heart-strings. You evoke great empathy with this write. I'll bet your pets miss Bud too.
Hugs,
Connie

Connie - Thanks for your encouraging words. When I come home from shopping I let Sammy come out in the front yard. He runs around the van looking for Bud, and isn't satisfied until I slide open a side door so he can get in and look around. He seems to be okay after that. Thank the Lord for pets.

Oh, bless his little heart. Yes, thank God for pets. They can be such a comfort.
Comment from Gail Denham
Well done from the viewpoint of progression. And how sad to think of the past - the experiences you both enjoyed so much. However, as you continue the tradition and tears come, you are able to chuckle.
You bring the emotion to the reader very well. It's those small things you did together - I believe those will bring the tears for a long time. Blessings to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a lovely memory to have - time spent together, the two of you with your precious pets. I'm sure Sammy and Mugs are a great comfort to you.

Making some new memories with Sammy and Mugs and Bud still plays a pivotal role. - Thanks for the kind review and for your encouragement. - Relda
Comment from LaRosa
It is fascinating that such little things, which originally shared with a loved one and not noticed, can later become such strong and happy memories. And you never know when they will hit home.
It's good that you are writing about Bud. It will help you to keep your good memories while you re-build your world.
God Bless.

Thank you for this review. Sometimes it feels like I just stumbling around ... but I will try to think of each day as a way to 're-build'. Thanks for the imagery.
God bless -

Hey! it's the really good ones we remember the most - right? The funny thing is that, if Bud was still with me, he'd would be cautioning the life out of my efforts toward the ministry the Lord's given me! But, with his change of address, I'm fairly certain Bud's seeing things with a wider perspective now - I hope he's rooting for me and knows 'the Lord's got this'.

I bet he is seeing things a bit different...in a positive way...and you better know he is rooting for you...we're all in Gods hands...PERFECT...love to ya girl...Linda xxoo

We're a little like that Relda, We like a simple life, the ambition's gone. I enjoy the footy and sport, Elaine enjoys the detective shows, we entertain the grands through the week. Our younger daughter, hubby and two grands come on Saturday for tea. I think I know how you feel, I would miss that, writing is a way of keeping in touch. Beautifully, I was there right with you. Sorry that you miss that life, well don, blessings, Roy

What a lovely simple story about eating tuna sandwiches. Excellent writing and grieving through your writing. It is a process that takes time. I hope he smiles down on you often and warms your heart. I truly enjoyed every minute of this read. Consider yourself hugged. :)
