Kevin--I can’t thank you enough for this poem. I struggle with anticipatory grief --two parents in their last years--Dad 91 and Mom 89. A dog who is aging and my ex who has in final stages of dementia at age 60, who I think about every day.
Animals. So beautiful and deep. Teddy has forgiven you; your love and served as his foundation.. You need to forgive yourself completely. Animals know that we humans are damaged and flawed; our temporary self-destructions never break that bond.
Love that photo of you hiking up your jeans, hand in leash - we are fully ourselves in every manifestation with animals. They’re all guide dogs and the greatest teachers

Spirit is eternal but we long for the warmth.
We stop grieving every day, but we never forget them.
