:weep Ollie knew; Larry knew, too. What a blessing for both of them that they could have that time together to say goodbye. Eva's music is perfect. Thank you for sharing this remarkable love story with us for the past eight months. I will celebrate tomorrow after I have finished this cry. :weep

 

Godspeed sweet frosty faced Larry :gh_run When you see Wilbur, thank him for us and give him a hug.

I'm so thankful Larry had you and Ollie for his last months, and happy you had his love and made some wonderful memories. A beautiful tribute. Give little Ollie a hug from me.

Larry was a very special boy. I'm glad we got to have him in our home for the short time we did before sending him on to Adrianne.

He blossomed with their family and his little buddy Ollie.

 

Run Free Larry!

I am so sorry for your loss!

You got Larry near the anniversary of my father's death. His name was Larry also, so I always felt a special connection to your guy.

His memory will live on in the hearts of many.

:brokenheart:( I must admit I fell in love with Larry from the first post I saw about him. He was one of my most favorites to follow here. I am so sorry that his time with you came to an end so quickly. f_yellow f_yellow f_yellow

What a greyt tribute to "frosty face" Larry. Yes this is a celebration of his life. I have tears of joy knowing that his senior time was with you but sorry it was a short time. He certainly left an impact on everyone. I think I saw Larry and Ollie enjoying PBB treats from Jan Z of Camp Greyhound, Fiveroooorers. Greyt video and so appropriate that Eva Cassidy is singing Fields of Gold, as Eva was an animal lover. I think Eva would smile down on us watching this video. May the wind always be at your back sweet Larry!:f_red

I knew this would make me cry, and it did. There's nothing I can say, except, I love you Larry. I'm glad I got to have a teeny tiny part in your life, and get to know you a bit through your mom's posts and photos. I'll always remember you.

Your tribute was beautiful. I will never forget Larry. He had such a sweet face. How could we not fall in love with him? I cried so many tears for Larry last week. After I learned of his passing, I cried again, but then I thought of Larry being reunited with his first Daddy and I smiled. That is some reunion, I'm sure.

 

My thoughts continue to be with you and your family and sweet Ollie. Thank you for sharing Larry with us.

Patty,

The last 2 pictures of Ollie and Larry just broke my heart! I am so very sorry that Larry had to leave so soon. My husband said that it takes a special person to take in a Senior and you and your family are special people!

Sending you and your family hugs and special gentle scritches to little Ollie!

Thank you for loving Larry and giving him a wonderful new home late in his life. You are a good soul, and he loved you for it.

 

"And in his final moments, as I lay crying beside him trying to tell him it was okay & he wasn't alone, he reached his paw out to my hand and let me know it would be okay & I wasn't alone."

That took my breath away.

 

Godspeed, Larry. You were so loved by many!

That tribute is absolutely lovely!!! What a wonderful home Larry had to finish his life in. Thank you for giving him that.

 

Those last 2 pictures --- oh my, they broke my heart.

 

Rest in peace & happiness, sweet Larry.

 

And precious Ollie - I hope you can find peace as well. You are truly a special, amazing lady. Thank you for sharing your family & your heart with Larry.

I can't say it any better than Dee said -- I have rarely read a tribute that moved me on so many levels. Reminding me that we have, indeed, angels among us --- and that some Greyhound people just "get it" .... you've painted a rainbow with your words and pictures and love Adrianne. Thank you deeply for that. Larry and sweet little Ollie -- and your understanding of what was really going on are imprinted on my heart forever.

 

When Wilbur and Larry come to meet you, Adrianne, I can imagine your getting the Biggest bear hug from Larry's Dad --- can you imagine how grateful he is for your love and care for Larry over these months.

 

the journey continues.. sending healing light and love

I just can't find the words to express my emotions. :grouphug I keep coming back to love. The love that was in your wonderful tribute, the love between your family and Larry, & Larry & Ollie, & all of ya'll and Wilbur & Larry, and Larry & us- so much love- Larry stirred up so much love everywhere-and that's what it's all about. Nothing on earth is more powerful than love. I think LARRY said it all best when he reached his paw out to your hand. But it wasn't just your hand- it was all of ours hands. I don't know if I've ever known anybody that was so able to bring out the highest ideal of love in everyone their life touched as Larry did. His love was so powerful you didn't even have to know him personally- just knowing about him and watching the example he set about how we all should be. Yes, you are right it should be a celebration. A celebration that we knew him and he blessed us and that he will continue his loving ways-albeit from another dimension perhaps-but love that strong can NEVER die. It says that in the Bible and Larry's love will go on forever and yes that should be celebrated. Sorry for rambling. Prayers for all and special kisses to dear Ollie for her incredible love. I will still send him scritches and kisses from his KY friends and love him always.

:f_red:gh_lay:f_red

THANK YOU LARRY. Scritches & kisses from your KY friends! We LOVE you forever and will always be grateful for what you taught us about love..

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
