My boy sent me this girl,Miss Abigal. I know it, without a doubt- He and she talked and agreed that my heart would need Abbey after he left. I am grieving, there is no hiding this. I got a massage today and cried. I drove to one of my boy’s favorite jaunts and cried. I sat with good friends for lunch and cried in the bathroom. Then I came home and 3 Pitty girls welcomed me with glee, adoration, joy and unbridled love….and the newest piggy- Abbey did this crazy dance all over me- nuzzling and love bites with a huge grin on her piggy face…
The healing of grief is instantaneous. I laugh, I wiggle, I let loose with the same joy they bestow on me.
A reason to open my heart again , is healing it. Rescuing Abbey is like a strong antibiotic to a wound. . There is a big space where my boy left. Abbey does not fill this space, she opens up another place in my heart. What this shows me- is that the heart can be ever expanding even amidst the deepest loss.
My beloved boy knew this- he sent me girl #3 to wiggle with glee upon my returns- to show me- that Unconditional Love comes when you most need it..
Dogs are such healers and teachers. In their unique animal ways, they pave the way to a greater Awareness of what Love really is. Love is an Unconditional Yes to Life. Love is a Yes to Feelings. Love is a Yes to humility. Love is a Yes to not knowing everything. Love is a Yes to Authenticity. Love is a Yes to Pausing and Reflecting. Love is a Yes to making a mistake and getting back up again. Love is Yes to Darkness and Light.
