Django Reinhardt Waldron.... RIP little buddy

He just showed up at our back door on March 31, 2008.  It was in the middle of a rainstorm and I saw him sitting on our patio.  I swear, as soon as our eyes met, I fell in love with the little guy.   We tried to find his owners for a couple of weeks with no luck.  It became clear to us that God had sent him to our family and we were so grateful.  



I never really understood how deep a bond could be between an owner and their pet.  I was always sad to hear when someone had to say goodbye to a beloved pet, but I seriously didn't understand that the grief can be as deep as losing a human that you have loved.  Now I get it.  Now i understand that the loss is DEEP.  We only had him six years.   Six years was not enough.  Not enough time to laugh, love and cuddle with this precious soul.





But... God tells us to "be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances".  So although I am heartbroken tonight at the loss of our sweet fur-baby, I will choose to find JOY in knowing that Django is no longer in pain.  I will choose to PRAY for peace and healing.  And I will choose to give THANKS for the six wonderful years we had with this special little guy.  



Django, you will always be in our hearts.  Love you buddy....

    He was so darn cute! I mourned w/you all day yesterday, it continues today. These four legged kids are part of our families. We scold them, clean up after them & repair their damage, and when they're gone, there's an eerie silence that is painful to hear because in the midst of everything else, the joy they bring makes up for it all. Django was one of a kind. I never met him, but I knew & loved him. He will be missed by all. xoxo

      Jessie...You are so right... he was just a little guy, but his presence in our house was HUGE... leaving an eerie silence that is deafening right now. Thank you for mourning with us.

    We raise our children to leave us. We raise our pets to stay with us as long as they can. I am heartbroken for you. It is real pain, this grieving. I'm surprised it doesn't leave us sore, it hurts so bad. I am so sorry, Marcia. It will take a while and all you can do is let it.

    Much much love to you.

      Will you be around Friday night or Saturday night this week or next? (I know I can probably check your schedule somewhere...) I would love to see you to. I don't mind driving over to Donelson to give you a hug. (I don't go out for a while after a loss like yours.)
