Can it really be only a year?

It seems like it's been forever since I've had my little Jewely with me. But indeed tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the loss of my little Jewely. I miss her so much. I don't like dwelling on such a sad time, but with her death being right after Independence Day, it's easy to remember, as it is with Diego's, a few days before Halloween.

Jewely, I love you, miss you, and think about you all the time. I know you'll be there to greet me some day when it's my turn to cross over. Goodbye, my love.

OK, this is the last archived post, other than one boring one I still haven't posted (but may someday). I think I was feeling melancholy at the time of this post, but it's all good.

Being remembered Current mood: thoughtful Category: Life
You know, when my dog Diego died two years ago, I got a lot of people telling me about how they were sorry for my loss and were sorry I lost my dog. While I appreciated their concern for me, I always felt sad that I didn't hear anybody say - 'I'm going to miss that dog,' or 'I'm sorry to see that dog go.' It saddened me to think that I was the only one that actually cared about Diego. I understand why - usually only owners get attached to their pets enough to make that sort of connection, but still, I guess I just felt sad, like his memory was really only with me. I was so happy when my friend Amy one day, not too long ago, mentioned that she missed Diego. It made me happy knowing he was remembered.
I was thinking about that last night while trying to go to sleep. I don't know why I thought of it. But I hope that whenever my time is up, which hopefully won't be for a very long time, that people will think, 'I really miss her,' or 'I wish she was still here.' I don't want people to be sad necessarily, I just want to be remembered and missed, rather than people saying, 'That's too bad' or 'What a shame she's gone.' I think we all want to be remembered and know that we left a good impression on the world. I guess I just hope that when I'm gone, someone will wish that I was still there, months if not years after I'm gone.
