Today, with much sadness, I am re-posting this portrait as tribute to our beloved companion, Moshe, who passed away unexpectedly on Saturday evening, December 7th at age 8 1/2. We are devastated to have lost this loving and faithful friend! The love we felt (and still feel) for him was profound! He returned that love wholeheartedly, and we will miss him forever! I hope to return to my 365 project after a short time but for now I will be laying it aside. I appreciate all the online friends I feel I have made here! If you are a fellow dog lover I would ask for your prayers for healing of the hurt we are feeling in our hearts. Moshe's departure from us left a big gaping hole! Thanks so much! Barb
I am so sorry to hear this sad news...beloved pets hold a place in our hearts that can never be forgotten...in reading your tribute to him, I see that you and Moshe were blessed to have found each other.
Barb, this is a devastating loss, you loved him so much. Coming so unexpectedly, it must have been a great shock. I hope it is a little comforting that you rescued him and gave him a great life. This portrait shows both his beauty and his lovingness so clearly. I will be thinking of you, and I am more sorry than I can say.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Moshe. Losing a faithful companion is always hard on us. We lost our dog about 10 years ago and still have not gotten another because we don't want to go through the mourning again. My thoughts are with you with hope it won't be long before the memory of Moshe is a comfort and brings you peace.
@linnypinny@kbird61@rvm@flutterby22@tristansmum@beckys@sansjuan@skstein Sorry for the group "thank you", friends, as I truly appreciate your your expressions of sympathy and your prayers more than I can adequately express... I can feel the empathy contained in your thoughtful words and it is healing! Those of you who pray and who have walked a similar road, please continue to pray, as we have already been offered (for free) a 12-week-old AKC German Shepherd pup from a dear friend in Missouri. We are uncertain whether to say "yes" of not... There is a lot to consider in taking on another dog right away at this stage of our lives, although part of our hearts say, "Put the little girl on the plane today!" Thanks once again to each of you! I want to get back to my project but it may not happen until after the holidays. Moshe was my husband's shadow every day and he is missing him mightily, as you can imagine. I have been trying to spend more time with Ken to help ease the loneliness we are both feeling. I do miss my daily visits here, however! Wishing all a blessed Christmas and glorious new year!
Barb-I have been gone and just catching up on your news. I am so sorry for your loss! I pray your heavy hearts will be lightened in the days to come. It is a hard time of the year for a loss. Memories of Moshe's will bring you smiles one day, but now I know, it is just sadness. Blessed Christmas joy to you and your husband. Sharron
@atwinfay Thank you, Sharron, for your very kind words of sympathy! Sorry I have been so remiss in acknowledging them! Yesterday evening was the first time in over a month that I have spent any significant time here on 365... Hoping your Christmas season was a blessed one and 2014 got off to a wonderful start for you! I am going to try to resume my project with more regularity now! :-)
