Tribute to my Amelia

  Some of you may know that I had to say goodbye to my Amelia 5 months ago today.  For those of you who don't know, she was my beautiful doberman girl who I lost to cardiomyopathy at 6.5 years of age. It has been a LOOOONG  5 months and yet, at times,  it seems like yesterday.  Most people think that since I am an animal communicator, that my grief might not be as strong or it is "easier for me to process."  I do have the ability to connect with her on an energetic basis and for that I am SO grateful.  I will say it is NO different for me, though,  MISSING her physical presence.  I still find, whenever I am on my way home and I feel a sweet bit of excitement that I will be seeing her happy, goofy face when I walk in the door, I am overwhelmed with the sadness of knowing she will NOT be there.  I am caught off guard my this feeling.  It is a painful reminder every day of how much I miss her presence in my life. I think  that I would have moved through this phase quicker.  I find that it is a gentle reminder of the fleeting love that we share with all of our companions that share our homes, and that it must not be taken for granted.  Amelia taught me so many things...but mainly, she taught me how to love with a full heart.  She taught me that when you love someone, YOU SHOW them...however it may look to others, doesn't matter.  You just show them so they know...so there is no question they feel that way about you.  I miss that.  EVERY DAY I felt SO loved because she made sure of it.  I often think that is why her heart gave out.  She used it to its FULL capacity every single day to spread love, to BE love.  I used to think she was needy..always wanting someone to pet her or be right next to her holding her paw.  Now I see she was just sharing her infinite amount of love with me.  I am filled with gratitude for the gifts she has given me.  May I use what she has taught me and be more courageous in spreading the love around so she lives on.  

Run on my friend...I will catch up with you someday!  And when I do, may my heart be as big as yours!
