Guest mdituro Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Your tribute to Buddy is - indeed - a very special, loving one. It was so beautiful, it made me cry! And, yes, there MUST be a beach at the Bridge - How could it be heaven without one? From your words, I can just picture your sweet boy Buddy running & romping, with a big smile on his face. My deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss and I hope that the pain you feel now will someday be replaced with only happy memories of all the good times you enjoyed with Buddy.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Machbragal Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Oh, Buddy. Your famly loved you SO much. This reminds me of the very very poignant song by Israel Kamakawiwoole called 'White Sandy Beach of Hawaii" -- it always makes me think of those who I love so much who are no longer here. This is for you, Buddy: I saw you in my dreams We were walking hand in hand On a white, sandy beach of Hawaii We were playing in the sun We were having so much fun on a white, sandy beach of Hawaii The sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul The sound of the ocean rocks me all night long Those hot long summer days Lying there in the sun on a white, sandy beach of Hawaii The sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul The sound of the ocean rocks me all night long Last night in my dreams I saw your face again We were there in the sun on a white, sandy beach of Hawaii .

Guest RavenRacersMom Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 God Bless you sweet Buddy. Your tribute was absolutely beautiful. HE was absolutely beautiful. I am sure that he found Sweet Raven at the Bridge and they can be the "new kids on the block" together. He will never be alone. Please take care, you did the right thing.

fourofem Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 What a beautiful tribute to your boy. I know how hard it is looking for light in their eye and not finding it. I'm quite sure there is a "rainbow beach"...and your Buddy is young and healthy again. I am very sorry.

queenwinniesmom Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 First, I want to tell you how sorry I am that you lost your precious Buddy. And then, thank you for that wonderful tribute. If it helps you to deal with your emotions by writing, it surely helps us to read those words filled with such tenderness, humor and insight. It is clear that you loved and understood your boy so well. Though you will miss him every day, your heart is already on it's way to healing because you know that final gift was given out of love. The Rainbow Beach! Of course. I think maybe my Nick was there to see if Buddy wanted to join him in a welcome run. It was Nick's heart that took him away from us too, when we lost him suddenly to Addison's and cardiomyopathy. He had injured his right hind foot on the track when he was only 2 1/2. It had healed badly, becoming deformed, and his middle two toes were amputated. That foot was always a bit of a problem, and he had a chronic slight limp. But on the beach at Dewey.....how he loved the beach. It was truly the only place where he walked without a trace of the limp. DH and I used to say that we should move to Dewey so Nick could stroll elegantly down the beach. It makes perfect sense to me that they would find the place where they could again run young and whole and filled with the joy of freedom.

Guest FullMetalFrank Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Your tribute brought me to tears. Buddy was obviously very well loved; such a beautiful boy!

KingsMom Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I am so sorry for your loss; your words were so sweet, it's good for you to write about it. I'm sure it will help others. A dog I am very close to (though he isn't mine) will have to be at the bridge soon as well. I understand what you're going through. :weep Thank you for trying to help others in your time of loss.
