We're Going to See Some Friends Who've Just Lost their Dog after a Long Life
There will be lots of drinking
Many tears too
Our dogs were both 16 plus
Long lives for big dogs
We're almost 6 months into the process
Only 3 weeks for them
We hardly ever see them
It's one of those phone call relationships
We'll go for an overnight this weekend
Help them process the raw
The grief does wane
Replaced by remembrance and sly smiles
Those dogs gave us laughter everday
Protection too
It's our turn to shield Robin and Patrick
We know too well what they feel
There will be lots of drinking and stories
Courage speaks
We will listen

This is ground you're very familiar with. It doesn't ease the ache, but it helps to share it with someone who truly knows what you're going through, I think. Sending hugs for you and your friends.
