Longest ride home Ever
Monday afternoon my wife and I had to bring our Sweet Belle ( Westie ) to the vet and I had a bad feeling when we left the house. She was 16and 1/2 years old and going blind and deaf but still full of love. I held her in my arms until the end and she kissed my arm and was gone. I reverted to a 5 year old and when I got in the car he came out in full force. My wife and I sat there like un consoleable children and that was the longest ride home of my life. When we got home the grand children were there and were asking about Belle and when she would be better so she could come home. We got out of site until we could get our selfves together to face them and the questions, then they all went home and the silence and emptyness hit home. It feels like a sad empty place right now.
Love you Belle, I'll see you some day, save me a spot on the couch.
