Memories of Tess

 You know sometimes I think I’m getting over it well yes I am. I am functioning very well thank goodness for my friends and people around me who care and lift me up but every once in a while something just happens just something like a song like going through old pictures, like just sitting in the stillness and suddenly the tears just come and I’m filled with the memories of Tess. The little song she sang to our Shih Tzu… Mama loves the baby boy better than life itself better than life better than life better than life itself. She would sing the song when she got home from work. It just lifted her heart to see her little baby boy and hold him in her lap as she would often say to me, Peter he’s a lapdog Tess taught me compassion. She taught me Patience, kindness, and love…. The wounds of my loss are healing day by day, but the pains of love and loss are never far out of reach. I never want to forget I do want to heal. I do want to live, but I never ever want to forget and each day I thank God and I thank Tess for being the love of my life for all these many years.
