i have always relied on rain
To wash away my grief, or at least offer me some solace. For Max, the rain took a week coming and when it did arrive it was a cold hard rain. As if G-d himself knew how cold and gutted i was, and had only the numbness of cold to offer me.
Partners friends and onetime tenants have a pair of heelers which i got to meet saturday. It helped, though not enough. Not yet.

Time. It heals all wounds. Or at least allows the scars to heal.
Abby Normal the lab has been a little ray of sunshine around here. She’s starting to show her personality more, now that she’s comfortable. She’s so different than Barkley, yet I see bits of him in her, and it makes me smile.
First time it rained after Harley’s passing, it was all I could do to not stand over his grave with an umbrella.
Just hated knowing it was cold, dark and wet down in there.
I still tend to his grave, every time I mow the lawn.

Hang in there, it takes time to heal.
