Guest ss556 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Two years have gone by without my boy. Some days it feels like it went so fast and other days it seems like a lifetime ago. Alan gave me such joy, I will always have that. Those of you who know me and knew Alan, knew what we had. For those of you that didn't know us, we had a bond like no other. He was the most handsome, sweetest, gentlest greyhound I could ever ask for. The 8 1/2 years together went by fast, but our love for each other just continued to grow. Love is forever. RIP my sweet, sweet boy. You were definitely my pocketful of sunshine. "One Sweet Day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magdalyn58 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I remember reading about your Alan the day I found Greytalk. I was searching for information for my Sophie girl, who was ill. She died eleven days after Alan. Alan always had a special place in my heart for that reason. I remember reading about the love you shared and it made me feel as if I wasn't alone in my grief. He was a beautiful, beautiful boy. He looked like an angel here on earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FullMetalFrank Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Your boy was very special; and I know how you miss him. The time goes by, but the memories, and sometimes the sadness, remain. All we can hope for is that the sadness will diminish over time. Remembering your precious Alan today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heehoo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Alan is the bond between you & so many of us here on Greytalk. Besides being so handsome, he had such a personality, so much character. I think between me & you it was his coloring, that true fawn, big brown eyes that he & Snowy shared & that's why they had crushes on each other. Now they are together at the bridge watching over both of us. My heart just broke for you when you shared with me that he was sick, I hope that I helped you through that horrible time. I know so many times you have helped me with just a gentle word of encouragement. I have learned with the passing of each one that they are not truly gone from our lives or our hearts. When I feel down, depressed over losing one, I think of how much they added to my life. I can't believe its been 2 years.
