They weren't afraid of her, more like playing games. <br />What is so beautiful is that it fits with any set of people or other when one leaves. <br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-6526231161733150672015-11-04T11:53:38.841-08:002015-11-04T11:53:38.841-08:00Adi, my beagle dog, and I loved to run into a grou...Adi, my beagle dog, and I loved to run into a group of loons or a heron on the bank watching for a fish to swim by. Whichever, her favorite activity was to chase them into the water. Like treeing a squirrel. <br />I miss her too, well written, it gives me a spell of sadness. And brings good memories. Thank you, Sherry. <br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-47018371383086603202015-11-04T09:08:24.893-08:002015-11-04T09:08:24.893-08:00Beautifully melancholic.

That piece is my go-to place when memories of departed loved ones come to me and I feel the need for solace. For me, Franz Schubert's music is more consoling to human despair than any other.

This house is so empty now and the silence without his chirps and curls are are a lonely sound. Beautiful poem. Like Bjorn, I have heard the loons but never seen them. That in itself is a kind of longing. I am so sorry for your loss.
