Slow realisation

Sun 26 Jan 

I get home to less.

An abnormal day, amongst the multitude of such days.

But today another family member departed 

As I returned home I slowly realised Lucie would not be here to greet me. 

Sowbaghya had earlier invited our team to pay their respects and fill the house with love, as Lucie began to reach her  last legs. This was, while I was being an attentive ‘parent’ to Kaveri at her school. 

That’s two. 

I’m missing too much …

… there’s a gap which far exceeds their size. Their imprint is ginormous

  1. hi Stephen

    So sorry to hear this.

    Losing a beloved dog is just heartbreaking. They bring so much into our lives and have such sweet souls.

    Sending you love & a big hug

    • Thanks Ruth,

      She was a precious wonder. With me almost since the beginning, when I moved to Mysore. Her temperament was exactly matched to an open house. We’ll miss her terribly.

      Love Stephen x

    • Thanks. She was lovely and now with friends all around the world. When guests arrived she’d always sit next to the most nervous and help them to adjust. 🤭

    • Thanks Jill. Bern together almost since I moved her. Very special. Cat also wondering what’s happening and she’s taken over my bed. S x
