Frosty, December 2011
Today I cried. I babysat my neighbor's dog, Frosty. He let me hold him for four hours. I was grateful. I made green curry. I cried. I watched a Brian Eno documentary. And I cried.

It’s such a hard row to hoe,but we go forward, make bread,we hold on and remember..and a smile comes.

Thanks, Robb. I am back in the studio. I would like to say working on some art helps. But it just makes me miss him more. I appreciate your comments and support.

Riding the grief train with you Moira. Thank you for being so open about what you are going through. Every one of your posts brings tears, and lets me know that others go through what I’ve been through. It’s a rough ride.
Yet we love again. -
Even Frosty looks sad.

Thanks for checking in and shedding some tears with me. I’d like to say I’m feeling better, but I just miss him so much. I think I am just going to be in the sadness for a while. I appreciate you letting me know I am not alone. xo, M

oh dear Moira, I’m certain Frosty was holding Darby’s spirit for you…..and what a beautiful portrait…..for a moment, I thought I saw a faint image of Darby superimposed over Frosty.
I send comforting hugs! -
I read this today and thought of you and Darby.
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam…
And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belongs to our world…
But then it flies again…
And though we wish it could have stayed…
We feel lucky to have seen it…
All love Moira x -
I am so very sorry for your loss. This quote is one that has brought me comfort in grief. I hope it will for you too, in time…

Wish I could be there to make you some chicken soup. Sending you lot’s of warm thoughts.

I love it Kim. I have been looking at the stars a lot lately. This puts into words something I have been feeling. The distance and the beauty of it all.
Thank you.

Thank you, Jane. The virtual chicken soup and warm thoughts really do help. But I am still so sad.

I posted your quote today. Here. http://dreamdogsart.typepad.com/art/2011/12/longhaired-dachshund-calendar-june.html
Thank you for giving this piece I’m working on new meaning. -
Thank you Leanne. I made a note inspired by this quote that I am going to try to work into my calendar. It said “Butterfly Darby.” I will keep you posted. xo, M

It felt so good just to sit there and do nothing but be with a dog. He was one of Darby’s friends and a gentle sweetheart too. Exactly what I needed.
