It's The Soul Afraid Of Dying That Never Learns To Live

...Oh, what a beautiful girl she was...her story brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad that she found you and had some happiness in her life.

I'm so sorry it was time for Rose to leave. Her gentle yet courageous spirit reminds me of Bette Midler's song, "the Rose".

 

Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed

Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed

 

Some say love it is a hunger, an endless aching need

I say love it is a flower and you it's only seed

 

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

 

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long

And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose

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

Oh what a lovely lady. What a wonderful smile. I'll bet she's smiling now! Can't help but notice her extreme happiness in her after rescue pictures. Its like she fulfilled her destiny when she found you. She will be with you always. God bless you.

Her early life was just a thorny bare bush..

finding you and your Borzoi family and community, she started to bud.

Within the year, she became a joyous blossom...

Rose was beautiful in heart, spirit and presence.

She will be missed by so many.

Condolences to you and your family. I feel your sadness.

Run Free Rose.

Crying at work, not good. :weep

 

What also counts is that you gave her that chance to blossom, to be the waggy, outgoing smiler that she turned out to be! You gave her the opportunity for a good life before she passed and that is an immeasurable gift. I'm so sorry for your loss, such a beautiful girl, clearly gone too soon.

A happy and quietly satisfied soul, sent to teach us all that life can blossom from the ruins. A short time of love can make up for the most dismal of beginnings. Thank you for handing her a lifetime of love for the brief time she shared with you.
