Honey

I am catching up on my blog 20 months late. My sweet Honey passed away on October 14th 2017 after being my best lady for just shy of 15 years. I say how much later I am writing this because I just realized that still 20 months later each morning I reach down to pet her out of habit. Not one day goes by that I don’t reach for my Honey Bunny. I told the girls that when Honey died that we would lock ourselves in the house, do nothing, and cry for days. We did just that and it took months for the five of us to not be brimming with tears all day. Still when we talk of her we cry. Some will understand what it is like to have a dog be so engrained in your family that it is this painful to lose them. Some won’t and that’s okay.

Honey was there for me in my loneliness, to give me comfort, to give me strength, to be a second mama to the girls, to give me peace and to be my best friend. Honey was the first one to meet the girls when they arrived home as babies. She was there waiting for us in the window every time we drove up. She cuddled with all of us many times when we were sad. Honey went with my each night for 11 years of her “momhood” to check on the girls in their rooms each night and to wake them up. Honey was the kindest “person” in our family and we will never have another like her. Honey was one of a kind.

 

Our last night with Honey she cuddled with each girls in my room:

Honey’s Last Moments

When Honey left this Earth she was scared and looking for me all around the room. I rubbed her ears like I always did and cuddled her. My sweet girl should have lived forever and ever. She was one of a kind. I miss her every single day.

 

 

 

P.S. A neighbor dropped of a basket full of yellow things to celebrate Honey that we ate, played with, and watched as we cried for a few days. We didn’t answer the door, we didn’t answer the phone, we didn’t talk to anyone. We just sat in the basement and cried till all our voices were horse.
