4th November 2005 ~ 3rd August 2012
After a mostly horrible twelve months, with this last month being the worst since it started, Tilly finally went to join dear friends at Rainbow Bridge. I still cannot write this without crying, and it will be a long time before the pain we feel from missing her fades.
This is how I love to remember her ~
Cute
She loved to be wrapped in my jumpers.
Happy
Cuddly
(my arms miss holding her)
When she and Our Boy were pups together
Playful
Sun Worshipper
Sleepy
Funny
(she used to help herself to raspberries
from our garden too)
With Friends
(I like to think of her and Buzz chasing sticks together,
as they used to when they were both alive)
with her sister....
and just so beautiful
A part of our Family
Our Little Girl

Tilly Billy
Tilly Babes
Darling Girl

Oh gosh, I have tears streaming down... I'm so sorry to hear about Tilly. Its such an intense loss - a big energy hole in the home - when an animal companion leaves. I think grieving allows us to feel how deeply we love when our hearts are cracked open, but cracking open is, well, intense. I went through this just a few years ago and wish you healing blessings as you navigate this time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Valerianna.
DeleteOh Helen. I am so very sorry to hear of your great loss of beloved little Tilly (and the not good year so far too). This beautiful honoring post has made me cry for your broken hearts. When I saw the siblings pic, I gasped as my sister and I had a brother/sister pair. Her girl had the stand up ears and my boy had one of each ears. Tilly held so many graces about her, but mostly that she was so well, so deeply loved by her people.
ReplyDeletePlease take care of one another.
Thank you Nancy. Her sister is with Mark's parents. She and Tilly were litter sisters. Tilly is buried in their garden, as we do not own this house, and I like to think of Tamzin barking at her and telling her the day's news.
Deletesweet Tilly xx
